Meanwhile, in the geek stakes

[hope]

I still have no name for the MacBook.

I discovered how to change the mouse and keyboard prefs so that I can tap-click with the track pad, get a secondary menu (two-finger tap) despite singular mouse button and enable the function keys.

Things I'm having difficulty adjusting to: no page up/down or home/end keys. Wah.

Also: are buttons not in the tab order or what? I am used to using the keyboard on my Windows laptop for most of everything, but on the MacBook it seems I'm unable to tab between anything on a webpage that isn't a text field. What's going on there?

Space bar doesn't work for page-down? Command-tab between applications when in the browser?

Home is Ctrl+A. (It took me a really long time to figure out, and I never knew the spacebar=page down thing before, so thanks!)

Some other handy shortcuts (http://lifehacker.com/5083249/a-few-handy-hidden-os-x-shortcuts), including forward-delete, end of line, etc.

*g* I was in your position about this time last year, but it was worth it.
