If you are using a windows keyboard though its Alt+C :) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barry Beattie Sent: Thursday, 22 November 2007 4:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Friday arvo O.T - thinking of giving up Apple and going back to Windows.
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.
