    Great read. Anyway, I've always said "Command" because "Apple" just sounded juvenile to me.

    To those "in the know" I call it Command. To my parents -- who are NOT "in the know" -- I call it the 'Apple' key.

    I'd have to move my mouse. I'd rather keep the mouse still and use one hand to do it.

    Nobody remembers the Apple sorting exercise that came on Apple II era demo disks? Closed-Apples in one basket, Open-Apples in another.

    It's simple as what to refer to it to...



    Command to smart people.



    Apple key to stupid people.





    I never called it an open apple (too young I guess?) but I should check and see if it's still the open and closed apple on the ][GS

    You know you can bind a function key to the expose function, right? I have f9 as all windows, f10 as the application windows function and f11 as the desktop function. If you REALLY don't want to use the mouse, you can cycle between the windows using the arrow keys and the spacebar.
