Sure, he typed on his Logitech Cordless Elite Duo keyboard -- the one that works with his TiBook and has a Windows key on it, of all things! Great keyboard, and it lets me set my PowerBook on a 6-7" high stand for much better ergonomics. History: In the beginning was the splat/open apple/command key. It was simple. And it was good. And it was inadequate, so with the advent of the Plus (if memory serves), the option key was added to the keyboard -- along with other nice keys like Escape. Thanks to programs like SoftPC and DOS cards, Apple began marking alt on the Option key, but always in smaller type. This was to accommodate DOS/Windows users. For Mac users, the three keys beside the spacebar are Control, Option, and Command. All Apple keyboards are clearly marked ctrl, option, and open apple/splat, but some third parties confuse matters by making the Windows markings as prominent as the Mac markings -- in the case of this Logitech, they differentiate the Windows keys by printing those names near the top of the key and the Mac names toward the bottom. So it's understandable that someone could misread them, and it would be best to correct such people in a civil manner.
