I know nothing about computers. I have a Mac Os x ver 10.8.3, How do I know I have it? What does it do? and How do i get it?
Answer
You say... "I have a Mac Os x ver 10.8.3"
and... "How do I know I have it?"
Huh? You can't claim you have it and then ask if you have it.
That's like "I have ten bucks. How do I know I have it?"
In fact, your computer has that, not you. It is software. It is Mountain Lion. All Mac OS X have code names like this....
10.0 = Cheetah
10.1 = Puma
10.2 = Jaguar
10.3 = Panther
10.4 = Tiger
10.5 = Leopard (released 2007-10-26)
10.6 = Snow Leopard (released 2009-8-28)
10.7 = Lion (released 2011-7-20)
10.8 = Mountain Lion (released 2012-7-24)
Go to the top menu bar, Apple logo > About This Mac. In that small window, you can see what the computer has. All Mac computers built after 2012-7-23 have Mountain Lion (OS 10.8.x).
These definitions may help....
ââ> Mac = Macintosh computer. (Various types, such as iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air)
ââ> Apple, Inc. = the company that makes all Mac computers.
ââ> OS = operating system, a system of apps that make up the basic software for a home computer. Some of that software is rather essential; other bits are extras, such as iTunes or DVD Player.
ââ> app = application (software that serves an exact purpose of accomplishing something useful. You can think of it as the same thing as "program" to a PC geek, but in fact, a program runs, an app does something or allows your doing something, so an app is a useful program.
ââ> X = Roman numeral with a value of ten (when speaking of "OS X"). Another use of X is an unknown value, as in "Please solve this equation for X: 17 + X = 20." A third use of X is a substitute for a signature if someone is illiterate, as in "Please mark your X at the end of the contract."
Do people shout "Eli is brilliant!"? If not, remedy that by reading, such as at http://en.wikipedia.org That's how you can look up the meaning of "Mountain Lion" and at least a hundred other things.

Can I make it to pro tennis?
ChrisAweso
I'm 14 years old and I started playing tennis about a year and a half ago after going to Wimbledon for the first time. I fell in love with the sport, I think about it day and night and now my ultimate dream is to go pro. In my club they say i'm talented and I've been called 'Federer' cause of my playing style like his. Of course they say i have things to work on, mainly serve and volleys but I am willing to work. I am going to start LTA tournaments and hopefully work my way up. I heard that Sam Querry's first international tournament was the junior US open where he lost in the quaters against andy murray so I have some time right? Nice and Informative answers appreciated, no hate please. Thanks.
@Damir
Please Do not answer this question unless you are going to give me constructive ways that I can become pro and in a nice way. Thank you.

The USPTA has a set of six DVD's that talk about the things that champions seem to have in common. I suggest you get a copy at: http://www.usprotennisshop.com/
It's called "The Six General Performance Components of Tennis." They used to have a short book that covered the same material.
Here are some good books for you and your parents:
Blundell, Dr Noel. "So You Want to Be a Tennis Pro?" A Lothian Book, 1995. ISBN 0-85091-666-6. Subtitle: "A practical and mental guide for players, parents, and coaches."

Greenwald, Jeff. "The Best Tennis of Your Life." Betterway Books, of F+W Publications, 2007. ISBN-13: 978-1-55870-844-0, ISBN-10: 1-55870-844-8. Subtitle: "50 Mental Strategies for Fearless Performance."
Marks, Bonita L, Ph.D. "Taking Your Tennis On Tour," Racquet Tech Publishing, 2006. ISBN-13: 978-0-9722759-6-5, ISBN-10: 0-9722759-6-7. Subtitle: "The Business, Science, and Reality of Going Pro."
Oon, Desmond. "Can Eastern Wisdom Improve Your Tennis? You bet." Themps Marketing Directions Sdn Bhd, Malaysia, 1999. ISBN 983-40112-0-2.
Peterson, Carl, and Nittinger, Nina. "Fit to Play Tennis," Racquet Tech Publishing, 2006. ISBN-13: 978-0-9722-759-5-8, ISBN-10: 0-9722759-5-9. Subtitle: "High Performance Training Tips."
Pluim, Babette, M.D., PhD., and Safran, Marc, M.D. "From Breakpoint to Advantage," Racquet Tech Publishing, 2004. ISBN: 0-9722759-1-6. Subtitle: "A Practical Guide to Optimal Tennis Health and Performance."
Veneziano, Tom. The Truth About Winning. 3rd Edition. Tom Veneziano Enterprises, 2006, 2001. ISBN: 0-9716203-9-3. Also liked his audio CD entitled "The Refocus Technique - Controlling Your Emotions in Tennis." http://www.tenniswarrior.com/
Wegner, Oscar, with Ferry, Steven. "Play better tennis in two hours." McGraw-Hill, 2005. ISBN-13: 978-0-07-143717-2, ISBN-10: 0-07-143717-7. Subtitle: "Simplify the game and play like the pros." http://www.tennisteacher.com/
It is very, very tough [for ANYONE] to do well in the "big leagues," so try to keep your eyes open for occupations (jobs) that
a. You're good at, and
b. You enjoy doing,
in case tennis doesn't pan out the way you hoped that it would.
I have no idea how far you'll go in tennis. A lot depends on your support system, your coaches, your drive and willingness to work, sportsmanship, winning record, etc etc etc. If you've played other "ball sports" before your started tennis, that should help a bit.
You will need to work very, very hard, because a number of young people you'll be going up against will have started tennis several years before you did. Some of them will get tired of it and quit, of course. You and your coaches are going to have to do everything correctly, which is not easy.
There are a number of pitfalls you must conquer (or just avoid) along the way. Do not try to do everything by yourself. It's inefficient, and it just plain does not work.
The ATP World Tour has about 2000 players in the singles ranking list at the moment. The vast majority of them are not allowed to participate in the qualies for the Grand Slam events:
http://www.atpworldtour.com/Rankings/Singles.aspx?d=31.12.2012&r=1501&c=#
The media tends to spend all their time talking about players in the top ten or so, and ignore the other 1,990 players. They don't want to "disappoint you" with the reality that becoming as successful as Federer is fairly similar to winning the lottery.
***In my club they say i'm talented and I've been called 'Federer' cause of my playing style like his. Of course they say i have things to work on, mainly serve and volleys but I am willing to work. I am going to start LTA tournaments and hopefully work my way up.***
Nice of your club members to compliment you prior to playing your first tournament match. Try not to pay much attention to people who don't understand how difficult tennis really is. At least they're being nice, that's always good :-)
All the best, hope you at least have some fun with it once in a while, and win your share of matches and/or tournaments :-)
