Q: automator, how it works?

Hello I just got a Mac Mini. I have been using PCs since 1993.

I am having difficulties to understand Automator.

I don't know if I have to buy software or if it's integrated Mac OS X v10.7 Lion.

Also I would like some links not for geeks, for Mac illiterates, Please.

Thanks!

Aberingi,

Nope - you don't have to buy anything else - it's fully included. Both Automator and Apple Script are built in services to OS X and allow you to define work flows or sets of actions linked together with a single click.

Try this as a starter:

Automator is included nothing else to buy.

See Mac 101: Automator for a start. Google automator for lots of other info.

good luck
