Ah, so that's what it's called. It's a bit weird because the centre of 
the screen moves with the mouse. Still, it could be handy for the 
occularly challenged amongst us. I now have THREE pairs of spectacles! 
One for computing, one for TV watching and one for driving. :-(

I merely copied what is printed on my brand new APPLE keyboard, which I 
bought from the UK APPLE store last week. In fact, looking at all four of 
my Macs, the only one that has "option" is the 1999 iBook which has that 
word printed beneath "alt". I mean, I would hate to confuse anyone who 
has bought a Mac in the last 6 years!

So maybe the shame is not on me but on Apple?  ;-)
