The eject key is 1 key to the right on the mac laptop keyboard. I learned of this I believe through the apple manu when they did the keystrokes there at one time, 2 years ago. It is a nice way to shut down. Just hit control cmd option eject to shot down, cmd option eject to sleep and control cmd eject to reboot.
Take care. On Aug 3, 2012, at 11:42 AM, chris hallsworth <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Gordon and all yes this is very useful indeed and thanks.
