Finally, a Mac. Shortcuts?

My new iMac G5 is arriving on Monday, and I've been a Wintel user forever. Does anyone have a link or a document that illustrates some quick keyboard controls for the Apple O/S? It seems that a lot of veteran Apple users perform functions using keyboard shorcuts. I will be getting a 2-button mouse, as this is a behavior I cannot give up. Will that suffice?

Most of the sortcuts are the same as on Windows, except that CTRL is replaced by the Command (or Apple) key. Command-S saves a document, Command-C copies to the clipboard, etc. Only the F-key shortcuts don't usually exist.

Shortcuts are listed in the menus next to the commands they execute, just like any other OS. Look through the menus and you'll pick up most of what you need.

MANY keyboard shortcuts are already listed in the OS. Just go to System Preferences>Keyboad & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts.

Macworld recently reviewed a program that lists all the keyboard shortcuts at the touch of a button. Check out their site for more details (www.macworld.com).
