[X-HW] Switching to Safari and Mail ....

[John Black]

TDavis8810, sounds to me like you need to open System Preferences, then 
in the SP window under the "Internet & Network" heading click 
"Internet." In the "Internet" window that opens up click on the "Web" 
tab, where the choice of default browser is offered. The drop-down 
browser window will either show Safari as an option, which you should 
highlight, or you'll need to click on "Select," which will open a 
navigation window allowing you to find Safari on your hard drive 
(probably in the "Applications" folder) and select it. Drag the Safari 
icon to the dock for easy access. Then when you click on the icon, 
Safari should open, provided you've selected it as the default browser 
in the System Preferences "Internet" window.

Concerning Apple Mail drag the Mail icon to the dock, where you can 
then easily open it. When you want to check email, click on the dock 
Mail icon, opening the Mail application, which should then download 
your mail from the AOL server.

If I've given any bad advice, you other experts straighten me out.
