I really like that so many people switch from PC to Mac. Hopefully that can help us to get even more great applications and more Mac supported peripherals.
Changing to a Mac can be really confusing in the beginning. Some of the old programs you are used to maybe don’t work on Mac and a lot of the smaller things like how you quit a program and such are a little different.
A good example is how to take a screenshot. As you might know, there is no designated button for taking a screenshot. Instead it’s a combination of 3 or more buttons you need to push at once. But what are the different buttons on the Mac and how do the keyboard symbols look like. I will try to give a short explanation of the keyboard buttons and the functions.
