where are the programs???

Click on the Hard Drive icon and you will have a finder window come up.
They are in the Applications folder.
God bless and good luck

Hi again ozzman, Programs are called applications or apps and they are in the applications folder. To find this open a 'Finder' window, (that square icon with a face in it on your dock). Text edit is a basic word processor, there is a more sophisticated one in Appleworks. If you're not sure what anything is, just double click it and it will open. (Single click from the dock) If it's not what you were looking for press 'Apple' + 'Q'. to close it. Unlike Windows just clicking on the red X doesn't quit the app, it just closes the window leaving the app running.
Games are in the app folder too.

Have fun!

Hi Ozzman,

You might want to take a look at Mac 101. It has the basic information about Apple computers. It is a great learning tool.
