But an awful lot of the language problems (not all) can be solved by

control = command
right-click = control + click
alt = option

most major program stick pretty close to those conversions...

Or you might have to work a bit harder at understanding what's going 
on, rather than blindly following instructions. Which is the way it 
was in my experience - 3 out the 4 top students in the New Media 
Communications program I went through were Mac Users who were forced 
to use PeeCees in the lab.
