Always make sure that the Finder menu located in the top right corner of the screen is empty before you open a new application.

Never drag an item to the desktop.

Never open or modify the folder labeled System.

Never attempt to modify settings, i.e. monitor resolution, sound schemes, etc…

If your document does not print, do not continue to use the print command.
