Pull down the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the screen to the Chooser and let go. Then click once on the AppleShare icon in the upper left corner of the Chooser window, click once on Student Center in the lower left corner, and then scroll on the right side of the window until you find a choice labelled EDU-SNOW-BADGER and click on it. Then click on the OK button. This is to allow you to log on to the file server. It will ask for a name and a password and you can use the tab key or the mouse to get from one field to the other. The name you type is your logon name (composed of the first four characters of your last name followed by the last four digits of your SSN, e.g., BLOW1234). Your password is initially the last eight digits of your SSN, no dashes. (You should change your password soon into the quarter if you haven't already; it can be done on either the Macs or PCs.) Then it asks you what items you want to use, and MACBADGER is the one you want. Don't click in the little box to leave an x there; just click the OK button when MACBADGER is selected. If all has gone well you should see an icon of a file cabinet called MACBADGER appear on the right side of your screen. If so, you may close the Chooser by clicking in the little box in the upper left corner of the Chooser window. You are now logged on to the file server.
To open things you double click on them. Open the MACBADGER server by double clicking on its icon. Then open the folder called Applications (if you see it), then open the folder inside called Physics. Then open the folder called Interactive Physics and then open the folder called Physics Interactions. The sixteen folders listed there correspond to the sixteen interactions you are to do and turn in. Open the one you want to work on and then double click on the particular activity you are instructed to do first. Double clicking on an activity should start the Interactive Physics program for you. You can then Close one activity and Open another by using Interactive Physics' File menu in the upper left corner of the screen. If the computer does not let you start Interactive Physics it may be that all our legal copies are already in use; either ask a lab assistant for help or wait a few minutes until someone else from our class on another computer finishes. If the program demands a password, try one of the following, and then also notify me that it asked for one.

When you are through with the program be sure to go to the File menu and Quit Interactive Physics (it should then no longer be listed in the stack of tiles at the lower right of the screen). Also drag the icon of the MACBADGER file server to the Trash can to log yourself off.
