Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts

WHY

I just got a Powerbook 1GHz, 768MB ram G4. Oldie, I know, but I never saw how mac actually looks like long enough to like it in any way. I only tested it a few years ago in a vmware environment and the results weren't pleasing at all ! So, I got my Mac OS X™ 10.5.1 Installation DVD, got it installed ( quite cool ! ). Got it updated to 10.5.8 ( about 1G more of updates ).

The key combinations are kinda' weird coming from a Windows™ environment and there are just so many that I can't remember them all the time ! For all the new guys out there .. here they are !
