Got it. @Ari: Hehe, kewl. And I so wish iLife was available on Windows too... I use Veggie Toolkit's MultiRender for Sony Vegas, which saves me loads of time, but think FCP's Compressor looks really compelling. I'd like to see more of your art! @Edward: Oh wow, I remember using Performer before it had "Digital" in the name, back in... what was it... early 90s! I always thought "Mark of the Unicorn" was a kewl name. You are welcome! @Colin: AHH happy I could help! =D @Kara: Ah! Got it.

I don't know why, but I never thought about using it on the PC. Now I will, thanks for the tips!

Thanks for this tip!!! this little program worked perfectly on a MacBook Pro running Vista via bootcamp. omg this is like the greatest thing that ever happened to windoz-on-mac! haa! I've been looking for this functionality ever since i picked up Vista last August. switching the CTRL and CMD keys makes vista 'feel' more like OSX from a tactile standpoint. I've been a Mac user for many moons using pro audio apps like ProTools, Digital Performer and Logic since OS 7. i only run Vista for SL because, well, it simply runs SL better than OSX. the CMD key (aka the Apple Key) is one of he most useful keys while using OSX, that's why they put two of 'em on every keyboard! but it becomes the most useless key under Vista giving you twice as much access to the start menu. makes me wonder how many times i need to 'start' windoz? o.O Until now i had to remind myself "ok i'm running a PC not a Mac, use CTRL not CMD!!!" now most of my keyboard shortcuts are the same on both operating systems freeing my mind for more creative applications. So thx Torley for once again enhancing my computering experiences! :D ok, so now how do i get the taskbar to sit at the top of the screen? o.O hey Torley, i herd U liek teh applez….

Apple store! w00t! :) Hey, I have both PC and Mac. I use Sony Vegas, too. ;) But man-o-man, whatever you do, don't dare touch Final Cut Pro. It's not available on the PC. And if you do... I see a Mac-Head in the works and TorleyTutes that will rock-on even more than they do now! :) Hey, I'm fortunate though - as a Motion Media and Graphic Designer, I get to sit at a Mac all day :p Oman oh man, Torley hits the big time!

I have been using Apple keyboards since the Apple ][. I agree with you, the feel of the aluminum keyboards is great compared to most keyboards out there, wish I could use it at work. @Torley Re-reading what I said I made a thinko, I meant to say my first *wireless* keyboard ….

I wouldn't buy an Apple Keyboard without trying it out firsthand as I did. But I did, liked, and now it's in my hands. I'll keep using it and likely do a followup. it's a lot quieter than my previous CC2000, and the keys are very low-impact which is pleasant. Feels almost Star Trek-ish at times because it's so flat! @Kara: Good to know! @Dario: Cool beans, and you're welcome. Sorry to hear about SL on Mac issues. :\ @Josh: If only a Windows-oriented manufacurer had come up with the Apple Keyboard first, eh? ;) @Bobsas: Thanks for sharing with me. Unfortunate to hear that, and it's frustrating when there's a lack of knowledge about what clearly is an upsetting problem. SL's system requirements are pretty beefy and I hope in the future, as computer technology continues to advance quickly, that just about any mass-market PC or Mac will run Second Life as well as they can run word procesors today.
