1. If you are on a computer with a Windows mouse, it comes already set up with a right click so this is one step you can leave out. 2. For these keyboards the start key replaces the command key in most cases. An exception to this is the ALT key (option on a Mac keyboard), which is used for Spanish accent short cuts.

3. Cut by holding down the ** start key ** and pressing ** x **. 4. Copy by holding down the ** start key ** and pressing ** c **. 5. Paste by holding down the ** start key ** and pressing v.

 * Accessing the ABC´s intranet using storage/personal
 * Alternative ways of connecting to storage/personal docs on the Mac.

Similarities? Where are the links on the ABC Website located/stored? (Hint: it has a url). Can it be accessed outside of the school? How is this different from data stored locally on your iMac?
