Since you are new to the Mac system and are a PC (I assume you mean
Windows) user, it is nowhere near as complicated to remove an
application in Mac OS. You can SEE it in the graphical interface. Yoou
don't have to track anything down by path. there are no hidden DLL's
etc., etc. If the previous owner was very organized that may be in a
folder titled Applications. If not, then it is simply sitting out in
plain sight on the hard drive. (root directory to you). Basically, all
you do is locate the folder for the application, Then click and hold on
that folder to drag it into the Trash (usually in the lower right-hand
corner). You can go into the System Folder Preferences Folder and drag
any preference files for that application into the Trash also (but
there may not even be any). The Trash is like the Recycle Bin on the
Windows systems (where do you think they got all their ideas). It just
fills up. To Empty the Trash (which actually frees up the space on your
hard drive, you go to the menu that has Empty Trash in it and select
that. I think it is the Special menu, if I recall. I can't visualize
7.1 too clearly in my mind. By the way, you should only shut the
computer off by selecting shutdown from the Special Menu. You only see
one menu bar ever on the Mac, and it is always at the top. Nothing to
confuse you. The menu bar is always contextual and related to the
application you are running.
