For uni, I've gotten a new Mac mini as I needed to run some Mac programs. Anyway, I seem to be adjusting allright, but I have to ask. Why does the mac keyboard come with home and end keys if they don't do anything?

Generally I thought those keys are for scrolling directly to the top and bottom.
I am interested to know, can you state the specifications?

On a PC, the home and end keys jump to the start and end of the current line respectivly. Using them in concordance with the ctrl key will jump you straight to the begining/end of the document.
As for the specifications, it's the basic Mac Mini but with 2Gb RAM.

Ah, I see. Me, I would open it up and search for the features on the hardware inside. That is a part of my excitement. I only have one gigabyte of two Corsair XMS 4400 and the timings are 2.5 4 4 8. I see that they are cheaper to buy now.
