Occasionally I have to work with Macintosh computers.
Here are some Mac / OS X tricks worth knowing in a pinch:
- Access the Boot Menu: hold the <OPT> or <ALT> key down when powering up the Mac to access the boot menu
- Disable the keyboard manager (for kiosk type applications or when using an iPac keyboard emulator
- Eject a CD from a Mac Mini: using a two-button mouse, hold both left and right buttons as the Mini boots.
- Start a program automatically on Mac OS startup
