Intel-based Macs: Starting up into Apple Hardware Test
Hah! Little did I know but while looking up something on Apple's Support website I came across a page that describes how to start up into the Hardware Test. And, no, the key combo isn't the same as for PowerPC Mac users!
For all new Intel-based Mac users, the startup key is D not C.
Mac Specs: 2.5GHz 17" MacBook Pro Core2 Duo - 4GB DDR2 SDRAM - 250GB HDD - NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 512MB VRAM
Heh, I read this thread for the first time and found the awesome (and free) Sizzlingkeys thanks to it. I'm really glad this iTunes companion exists!

Don't suppose you've gotten lucky in the past month? Just posted to another thread here about my problems finding an ACDSee replacement, specifically the ability to view images within ZIP files without having to manually unzip them. Can't believe that there doesn't seem to be a single Mac image viewer out there that supports this.
Well, it's not meant to be an image viewer exactly since it's designed as a comic book reading program, but FFView lets you view images from within zip and rar files without actually opening them up.

Another "cheers" to the forum and the Mac community as a whole online. I'm looking to replace my current laptop later this year and I always do a lot of research into what my next machine is going to be. Boot Camp is one of the final hurdles I've cleared in my mind and I'm going to make the switch when it's time to pick up the replacement. In the interim, I've read up on all things Mac (especially Macbook Pro) and OS X. The more I learn now, the easier the switch will be when I actually buy the MBP. There's a lot of excellent information online regarding making the switch and how to do something in OS X that you used to do in Windows.
It's not easy waiting, but I'm sure the payoff will be well worth it. Looking forward to the switch.
