[QUOTE="Big Dan, post: 858054, member: 85017"] There are home and end keys on the full Apple (or other brand) keyboard. I've found that Cmd + Left and Right Arrows work as home and end on the wireless keyboard. The biggest change for me originally with the Mac keyboard was that tab only cycles through text input fields where as a PC cycles through all fields, check boxes, buttons, lists, etc. This was easy to change via System Preferences > Keyboard but it still doesn't seem to work the same as the PC. As for mice well I've always thought Apple designs horrible mice. You know it's bad when I go out and buy a $10 corded mouse to replace a $70 wireless mouse just so I can middle click with consistency. Long story short OS X 'wins' PC users over every day, just look at the switchers hang out. ;) I always wonder how long newly switched people stay with OS X as their primary operating system after the initial 'shiny new toy' effect wears off.
