Following up on Jay’s posting on the unexplained symbols on Mac keyboards, I was also initially rather confused when I first started using a Mac 18 months ago. What was even stranger was that books such as David Pogue’s Mac OS X - The Missing Manual didn’t explain either. Surely one of the first things you need to tell a newcomer to Mac OS X is that when someone talks about the ‘Command’ button they mean that one with the cloverleaf pattern on it?

Anyway, after that someone else (I think it was jad) emailed round a link to the Mac OS X keyboard by Matias. This has text on almost every button, but even they think that the cloverleaf button is self-explanatory…. Sigh.
