To open File Sharing settings, click on the Sharing pref pane. The window will look like this:


NOTE: Your window will display Computer Name, Rendezvous Name, and Network Address.

Under the Services tab, there is a list of options. Checking the box next to Personal File Sharing will allow you to share files with other Macs. Checking the box next to Windows File Sharing will allow you to share files with Windows users. (For questions regarding other items in the list, contact Computer Support at x.3832.)

How do I use my Mac OS 9 applications?

Most OS 9 applications can still be used in OS X, using a program called Classic. Classic is essentially an interface which simulates OS 9 within OS X, allowing you to run your old applications. Settings for Classic are found by clicking the Classic pref pane. The window will look similar to the image below:



In this window you can click buttons to Start, Stop, Restart, or Force Quit Classic mode. If you would like Classic mode to open when you start your computer, check the box next to Start Classic when you log in.

NOTE: If you double-click an OS 9 application, Classic will automatically be opened. If you have questions regarding the Advanced and Memory/Versions tabs, call Computer Support at x.3832.
