-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 category uses the form [[Has default form::Event]].
-== Best Shortcuts ==
-Amusingly, the Mac has some of the most complicated and inconsistent keyboard shortcuts ever invented.
-=== Type a directory location ===
-- in the finder, and saving files using the default open/save dialog
-Cmd-Shift G
-=== Copy screenshot to clipboard ===
-Cmd-control-shift-4 - press space if you want to switch to the "window" camera, then use the mouse to select your capture area.
-== Peeves ==
-Too many to list. Let's just say "overrated" is probably going to be the summary after a couple of weeks of dedicated use.
-- 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?
