Christopher Breen

With the release of the Leopard operating system for Macs, Apple has added or updated more than 300 features. In Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Essential Training, Macworld senior editor Christopher Breen explores each of Leopard's vital features. He walks viewers through the installation, then goes over how to use the interface and navigational elements, work with the Dock's stacking feature, and take advantage of the iLife applications, Safari, and Mail. These tutorials are designed for people who are new to the Mac or who are upgrading to the Leopard operating system.

Closed Captioning

Closed captioning is a great resource for the hearing impaired and anyone who wants to read along with the video training. To view closed-captioning subtitles, set your screen to 1024x768 or 1280x1024, and use QuickTime 7.0.4* or newer. You can also use closed captioning to quickly find information in a course - using the "Find text in captions" box.

* Mac Safari users: please download QuickTime 7.5.5 or newer to avoid problems with closed captioning.
