so this might seem like a dumb question to some more experienced mac users but here it goes...so I'm not sure what combo of keys I hit, but when they were pressed, I had a small thumbnail view of the 4 safari windows that were open. I cannot reproduce this for the life of me, anyone know what I did and how to do it again?

If you have Exposé activated, all you need to do is press F10 to cycle through an application's windows.

On my computer, it came as F9 being the Expose key. You can go to System Preferences -> Dashboard & Expose -> and set the key or hot corner you want.

Exposé is the name of the function. A quick breakdown of the ways you can use it are:

F9 = All windows from all applications open
F10 = All windows from the application in focus
F11 = Show Desktop

I haven't touched the function key settings, but F10 does nothing on mine. F7 and F10 are dead.
