Apples here there and everywhere

QF's macs have the full sized keyboard, not the compact layout seen here. These keyboards do have the delete key

I can now confirm (typing from this computer in the SYD J Lounge) that the Apple Mac's in the SYD J Lounge are "dual boot". You can choose either Windows 7 or Apple O/S. Serfty, hope that this helps and any other users that prefer Windows over Apple.

It does help, immensely!

There isn't much to learn. Apple key replaces ctrl in most cases. You won't have a home key. ...

Actually, the QP Macs have a [control] key.

Flash infested sites such as Qantas work fine on a Mac.

Not Air NZ's Airpoints

How many Buttons? Where's centre Click? Scroll?
...

I find my portable wireless USB mouse works fine when plugged in. TGFT, as I find the 'magic mouse' far too sensitive and frustrating ('centre click' end up scrolling half a page )

:shock:

Command X, Command V. Those cunning folk at Apple made it a different button!

If you want to copy it is Command C.

(I have assumed the relevant part has been selected.)

I'm a [CTRL]/[SHIFT]+[INS] guy myself. ...

Ahhh! But they don't have the [INS] Key :shock:

I keep hitting [CTRL]/[SHIFT]+[fn] and nothing happens ... I then have to redo it with [CTRL]+[V]|[C]|[X].

It's a PITA!

Other than that, the screens are nice. Some other points:

• Can no longer run batch files by double clicking. I have had to resort to "Portable Fire Fox".
• The [delete] key is disconcerting - I know it's a "delete char to left of cursor" but it's not labelled so.
• At least the [delete[X]>] key is similarly position as the PS [Del] key.

I think simongr was pointing out that on OS X you’d use [command] instead of [control], but yes, they still have the [control] buttons on the keyboard.

Haven't needed to touch the [command] key ... [control] works fine

... of course this is with Windows7

It is disconcerting. luckily I recent'y learnt on AFF that fn+delete will "delete char to the right of the cursor".
