Never a good idea to post an email address in a public forum

by mrmacfixit Forum moderator Jan 3, 2011 9:28AM PST

but, if you are running Windows on your Mac, aren't the keyboard shortcuts the same as they are on a regular PC?

Email address removed...

Just to add, you want to avoid posting your email address publicly as it opens you up to spammers, many of whom use programs that automatically look for email addresses posted in forums. Instead, it is best to let other members PM (private message) you via your CNET profile, which ensures your privacy.

Regards,
John

I think it's more that he wants to configure Mac OS to work like Win 7 which kind of defeats the purpose. Best to learn how to use a Mac properly rather than trying to make it like Windows. Never learn anything that way.
