No freaking clue. I can access the sidebar to see the programs but neither a right click or hitting Return will actually open anything. It just switches back and forth between some open program and a black screen with something like open program icons on it.

This might be helpful.

Shift + Command (looks like a square with 4 pig tails) + 3 is screenshot. They'll be placed on the desktop with a time stamp.

Hmm.. doesn't really sound like Mac-like behavior.
Pictures of what's on the screen would be helpful.

I can't get it to turn on now. I didn't shut it down yesterday, just turned off the monitor, and I just turned the monitor back on and it couldn't find a signal.

How do I get the beastie out of sleep mode?

space bar.

If that doesn't work, hold the button on the back in for about 5 seconds, give it a second, then push it again then wait for the chime.

Ok, got it running.

I've managed to open the address book - how do I print it??

File > Print is pretty much universal for all apps.

Ok, it wanted to print one contact per page so I saved it as a .pdf on the desktop instead of printing over 300 pages.

And how do I stop a print job?

Just pull the plug on the printer at this point, to save paper and ink, and figure it out later. It depends on if there's any printer software installed.

The printer is installed just almost out of ink.

Click on the username in the side bar, and you will see it in the big window.

Make sure you're in the Finder first. Finder is like Windows Explorer.
To make sure you're in Finder: Left-click on an empty part of the desktop, then press Command-N. The command key is usually located where the Windows key is on a PC keyboard.

Is there a "Home" folder on the sidebar?

There's no user name in the sidebar and no Home in the sidebar.

I'm in Finder though

If you are in the finder, pressing command+shift+h at the same time will open the home folder.
