some help navigating a table on a website please?

2013-11-02 Thread peter greco
When I go to
www.tomwaterhouse.com

I go to the link "Melbourne Cup".
When this page loads there's a table with the Melbourne Cup field and the 
prices of each horse. I cannot work out how to find it, let alone read it.
I have a Macbook Pro, running whatever is before Maverick.
Any help would be fabulous!
Hopefully fairly simplified steps with your explanation please!

checking battery status and time, finding edit box on webpage, going back a page?

2013-10-17 Thread peter greco
I've just got a Macbook Pro.
How can I please check the status of the battery?
How can I check the time please?
What's the easiest - quickest way to find an edit box on a webpage, say logging 
into a bank account please?
How does one go back to the page they were on when on a website please?
If it's better to ask each question in an individual email please let me know!

moving on from the quick start

2013-07-31 Thread peter greco

I've just purchased a Macbook Pro.
I have only used braille notetakers in the past.
I'm wanting to move on from the quick start, however, if I hit 
escape, nothing seems to happen, and if I hit escape a second 
time I'm taken back to the quick start.

Any help please would be fabulous!
I'm especially wanting to use Safari.
