Default Oscilloscope tests

Hi there.

This is not really a troubleshooting question per se, but it seemed like the best place to post my question.

For the last 30+ years of dabbling in electronics, I never had a chance to use a scope. Well, I finally got one and I'm just itching to try it out. I checked the web and there are lots of tutorials, but those only explain the knobs and controls and theories, but no practical tests.

I'm in learning mode. So, here is the first stupid question: can I damage anything in the scope or, more importantly, in the 8800 by poking around with the probe?

He is the second, not so stupid (I hope) question: where are some good places to probe in order to see some interesting data on the scope?

Thanks for some advice! I look forward to learning from the masters.

Paul
