Justin, the f7 etc. keys is not new and if you were to change your function keys to be software function keys, you'd have to add fn to get the same results. It is a very handy feature indeed. As far as the browser issue, this is without a doubt something that got broken and not sure how/reason, but it is quite broken and I encourage folks to let the iTunes crew know and accessibil...@apple.com folks know as well. This was working and is still working fine under Leopard, so don't know what happen. Thanks for the clarification Justin. On Sep 1, 2009, at 9:22 PM, Justin Kauflin wrote:
