One week on a new Macbook.
I started a new job this past Monday, Sept. 29th. All of the desktops in the new office are Macbooks or Macbook Pros. I’ve used OS X before, but not since just after Tiger 10.4 was released, and never in the roll of a Unix Administrator. So far the machine seems to do most of what I want it to with few unexpected changes from any other Unix Like computer I’ve used.
A few giant exceptions exist however. Home and End don’t work as expected. Shift Insert doesn’t work as expected, and several other small keyboard changes that are slowing down my productivity.
Other than that, I think I can make the Mac work for me. I just need to retrain myself how exactly that work is to be done.

Not sure tho it might be an hp ? He works for westinghouse. I should ask him. Wait tho. I think he got a new job maybe he is using something different now?

When I got my new mac the other day, I tried to do all sorts of stuff that I could do on a Windows PC. I was unpleasantly surprised, well I wasn't surprised, that I couldn't do it.
I was using a Microsoft keyboard and I had no idea where the command key was. After all the frustration I went out and bought an Apple Wired Keyboard. Much better! I still don't know many key combinations, but then again, I have only had my Mac mini for 5 days. Ahhh
