+This Mac thing is just a phase. Between the dominance of Windows and the energy of the open source desktops, it's hard to believe it's still around. Nice hardware though - assuming it lasts.
-This is the "Event" form.
-To add a page with this form, enter the page name below;
-if a page with that name already exists, you will be sent to a form to edit that page.
+== Best Shortcuts ==
-{{#forminput:form=Event}}
+Amusingly, the Mac has some of the most complicated and inconsistent keyboard shortcuts ever invented.

+- An article on UI that pointed out how valuable edges are - so much easier to "select" than any screen area (since when you overshoot you've still got it) - really turned me onto the sensibilites of a good UI design. So why, then, are the shortcuts for ejecting a CD and opening the insipid Front Row located in these key positions?
+- Cursor keys - different combinations in every app. Why?

+- Decent power management/external screen support for Linoox
