The app will help a lot of Mac users - not just new Mac users, but experienced ones as well.

It's **now available for free** to everyone.

Download a copy of **SCOtutor for Mac** for yourself from both the Mac and iOS app stores - there is a Mac app and a Universal app that runs on all iOS 5 devices - iPhone/iPad and iPod touch.

You may not have purchased any of the other SCO titles so you may be interested to see how the app works, and it will also give you an idea of the type of content, the chapter structure,

Send the links below to all your Mac friends. The app is the real deal and is the full content. There's a lot of information in the tutorial - it runs for __**150 minutes!**__

I forgot to mention that the SCOtutor Mac App only runs on Lion - OSX 10.7. Apologies!

 The SCOtutor App is only available for Lion as they are built on some Lion only APIs that made it possible to included the subtitles and some more advanced features.  If you have an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad the iOS version will run on these devices and is also free. A suggestion is to have the App on your iOS device and watch whilst following along on your Mac.
