when, for no apparent reason, I accidently forced a reboot.
I had just finished narrowing down the games I was looking at (from ~ 50 to ~ 15) when, in the process of doing I-dunno-what, I hit cmd+ctrl+pwr.
how the hell I managed to hit the pwr button without even thinking about it is beyond me.
/me grr
thing is, I screw up keyboard shortcuts all the time. switching from OS to windows back to OS every day....
the keyboard shortcuts aren't incredibly different... but they certainly don't do the same things.
to hide a window in OS it's cmd+h (except in photoshop, where it's cmd+ctrl+h to hide the prog; cmd+h just hides the extras), to close a window it's cmd+w and to quit an app is cmd+q.
in windows you have alt+f4, which closes the topmost window/quits the topmost program or logs you out if you've got nothing open. and that's about it.
what causes most of the fuss (for me, anyway) is that the cmd key on an apple keyboard is where the alt key on a windows keyboard is. so I spend all day at work hitting alt+space then c to close or n to minimize, and then come home to use the same button in a different way.
um... this is just a big spiel 'cause I feel like a poon... at least I'm admitting it, though.
