I am new to Apple and just acquired a Power Mac G4. I found out that the OS is 10.2.8 by pulling down the Apple and selecting About.

All the guidance I have found about networking issues is for 10.5 and 6 and my version is different enough that these won't help me.

How do I get access to my shared Windows drives where all my music, pictures, video and backups reside ?

I'm lookng at the Help file for my OS and the title of the help is Connecting to a Windows computer from a Mac. Simple enough, but the first instruction says In the Finder, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu. I don't know what either is. I don't see Connect to server and I don't see a Go menu.
