I told you where the mysterious hash key was :-D That kept me guessing for ages when I needed that (and you do need it a lot when writing CSS). There are various other weird ones such as apple+alt+shift+4 then press space and click to take a screenshot. Genius! @James - Leopard has quite a decent PDF viewer built in. It's just preview but they've updated it a bit. You can also use quick view when browsing folders and it'll load up a PDF in about a second which is quite good compared to the time it takes Adobe to open one! Ha - That was me!

I have one question regarding skype. Did you download the skype application from Skype? I could not see that there was the 3 modified skype application in the 3.cab file. Some light on this would be fantastic. Thanks Hi John,

One good key combination that surprisingly many long-term Mac users don't know about is that you can zoom the entire screen by holding down Ctrl and scrolling. Do the new MacBooks come with Leopard now? One app that I feel Mac OS is sorely missing is a quick PDF reader similar to Foxit Reader on Windows. It's either the heavyweight official Acrobat Reader or Apple's crap Preview program. I think there were some attempts to develop an OSX version of Foxit Reader but it has never come to much. That would be my request for a Cocoa app. I’ve never had to use the hash key yet.

No idea where it is though, my brief googlings got me nothing. Someone did a poster that was all of the key combinations required to get the various symbols and suchlike on a mac.
