Apple-C is Ctrl-C

Ctrl is yet another function-special key (more like the "properties"
key, RHS on a Win keyboard)

One thing I noticed when I got my Mac and then went on holidays with
it for a couple of months, picking up free Wi-Fi in Amsterdam or
internet cafe's all over Italy, storing and editing 6,000 photo's with
iPhoto, playing music, watching movies, was how unimportant the
operating system actually was, a point rammed home to me using Linux
Desktop on public machines all over Finland.

file system access, plug-n-play, drag'n'drop and the applications
themselves and it could be a new Amiga or Apricot or BeOS or anything
really - as long as it worked as I expected.

but then again, I didn't need to worry about hard-core use of the
video card for some Adobe apps or  games ... like I do now, hence
starting the thread.

eh my 2c.

mind you, I still reckon Windows Explorer and Search pisses all over
Finder and Spotlight. Even Konqueror is better. but that's just my
workflow.
