I bought a MAC!

For years I have been considering purchasing a Mac computer. I am a laptop guy, so usually my thoughts have been for a macbook pro. I finally did it. Today, it arrived and I am already using it. I type this blog entry from that new laptop.

I am going to try and document stuff as I learn. I don't plan on completely switching to mac, but I do want to make sure that I have personal experience with both types of computers. But if I love it, who knows!

The first problem was that I wanted to highlight the whole URL in the browser window. In Windows I click the end of the URL and then I could press ctrl-home. I searched for ctrl-home for mac, but came up with cmd-L. This will jump to the URL and highlight the whole thing.

I still need to figure out the equivalent of ctrl-end and ctrl-home. Plus the tab key doesn't seem to work the same, especially in gmail.
