The Glynch bought me an iMac for my birthday. Shiny!

Guess what I've been doing all day? If you guessed working as usual, you'd actually be wrong for a change! I only worked for a few hours -- the rest of the time I've been figuring out this thing. I've got iTunes set up. Now, if I could just get my brain to remember that Home and End don't do what they do in Windows -- that if you want to go to beginning or the end of the line, you have to press Ctrl + Left or Right Arrow, and that if you want to move word to word, it's Alt + Left or Right arrow... it's this little stuff that will undoubtedly drive me a little batty at first.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

If you are in a text field (eg: filling out a form in a web browser), the up arrow takes you to the beginning of the line, and the down arrow takes you to the end. This also works if you are renaming a file in the Finder: select the file name to highlight, then click again to enter edit mode, then click up/down to go to the beginning/end of the file name. It drives me bonkers that it doesn't work in Windows.
