I use “command + shit + 4″ at every possible opportunity. ;P
Macs are full of good, useful shortcuts …if you know them, …especially during startup. Seeing as you’re a new ‘juice drinker’, here’s a good reference list to start with (or end all?).
I do like my Mac, but man, I have to say that when I start hearing Mac users saying things like “drinking the juice” and “You have taken your first step into a larger world,” I just about want to sell the thing and stop using computers altogether. Just go ride my motorcycle and give up on the computer cults once and for all.
Let’s not forget that these are just tools to enhance our lives, not religious cults.
I’m pretty sick of all the fanboy-ism regardless of how awesome and sleek and sexy and wonderful and stupendous my Mac is.
In all seriousness though, there are better things in life to be “fanatic” about. And let’s not forget that I started MCOJ as a place to share cool stories and links and intelligent & entertaining discourse.

Anyways, thanks for the link.
Holy Crap! that’s a whole lot of short cuts.

No insult… ‘kinda six-degrees off from “Drinking the Kool-Aid” (Jonestown Massacre reference).
Mike refers to his new-found obsession computer usage as “drinking the Apple juice”.
“You have taken your first step into a larger world.”
