One of the coolest features for MAC Operating System is the MAC Dock. The MAC Dock is the bar of icons that sits at the bottom or side of your screen. It provides easy access to some of the Apple applications on Mac (such as Mail, Safari, iTunes, Address Book, and QuickTime Player), displays which applications are currently running, and holds windows in their minimized state.
