It's one of the things I miss about PCs, along with delete and backspace (for non-Mac users: "delete" on a Mac deletes backwards, like "backspace" on a PC. There is no forwards-deleting counterpart on a mac. It took me a good year to get used to it). Oh, and right clicking.
Hi Liza,

I'm not sure what you mean by force quit being not as good as ctrl+alt+del, which if I'm not wrong, restarts your system. If you're using a mac, and your program hangs, go back to the desktop (as in make it the main screen) or go to another program that is running. click on the little apple in the top left corner and you can select 'force quit' it lists the programs running and you just click on the program you want to end. It also shows you if the program is not responding. It's easier to do this on the mac, because the whole machine doesn't just freeze. (I think someone else said something like this earlier)

cheers,
