Check the calendar
Show today's date and flip through the months.
Step by step
- Click the clock, at the bottom right. At the very bottom right of the screen, click the time and date (just right of the Wi-Fi and speaker icons): a calendar opens above it, with today's date written at the top.
- Show the next month. In the calendar, the month name is written above the days. At the right end of that line there are two small arrows, one pointing up and one pointing down. Click the DOWN arrow: the calendar shows the next month.
- Close the calendar. Click anywhere else on the desktop, away from the calendar (for example on an empty part of the background): the calendar closes.

Practice it where nothing can break
SafePC works like a real computer, but nothing you do goes anywhere. Try every button, make mistakes and start again.
