To resolve this I downloaded something called KeyRemap4MacBook to remap the left option key to be a ctrl key. It works perfectly! I do like the standard BT keyboard that came with the iMac, as I can really speed-type on it, but that one issue was irking me. > > - The screen is very bright and crisp, but heavy on the bluish side.

Just now I finished applying the matte film on my iMac. Took 1/2 hour to do. The results? Excellent! It's close, but not exactly like the glass itself being matte, just a very slight dispersion/loss of clarity, barely detectable. All in all, definitely worth the $50, especially considering I'd pay $100 if this was a BTO option. Already my eyes have relaxed just looking at the screen. All that's left now is the super-light lithium batteries I have on order for the Magic Mouse. They're "in the mail"... -Jon _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
