I sat in a meeting this morning where someone observed that (on a Windows XP machine) I was “pretty quick at navigating around Windows Explorer, for a Mac user.” I had to admit that the Windows Explorer interface never really has bothered me and that it was easier to delete files than in the Mac.
Or so I thought.
Even though I’ve used a Mac as my main machine for a few years now, there are some “basics” I still find once in a while because I never take a moment to learn a new (read: faster) way. Today, I learned that instead of dragging a file to the trash, you can simply hit “Command” (apple) and “Delete” on your keyboard and the file will instantly be sent there.
And now that I’ve admitted that out loud (via this post) I really feel like I should have learned that sooner. Maybe it’ll help one of you so you don’t have to admit it on your blog.

I’ll never forget when you said that Windows did something better than a Mac.
