What is this place?

New iMac is in ...

This is not as intuitive as people say. After working in Windows since its first release there are a lot of things I do without even thinking about them. Everyone of them is a discovery or , more often, a painful search. It's not the OS or what it does. It's a computer. It does the same thing the windows systems do. It's simply getting around right now.
I have no doubt that for a new user everything here is intuitive. I have to unlearn a lot of habits. Lots. It's not like its hard but it certainly just increased the time I have to invest.
Just editing this post is painful for me right now. Where the heck is the HOME key? Why does the delete key act like the backspace and where is the delete? Not to mention the fact that I keep trying to control-c/control-v when I should be doing the command-c/command-v paradigm and all the function keys are only accessed when using the function button? No wait, that actually makes sense.

Closing thought(s):

Function keys. Hmmmmm.
