Three quick questions

gap

So my iMac arrived and (once I finally got the broadband connected) I am very happy. I just have three quick questions:





1) Is turning the Firewall on really as simple as System Preferences > Sharing > turn it on? Is that me protected?



2) Is there a Mac equivalent of Ctrl + Alt + Delete in case a program ever stops running or freezes?



3) Is there any way to do a 'Open in New Window' type thing in Safari when you only have the one click mouse? (Apologises if this question is actually as stupid as I think it might be)



Thanks,

1) Yes.

2) Command-option-escape.

3) Hold down the command key when clicking the link, or click-and-hold the link to get the contextual menu.

it's not click and hold, it's ctrl-click for the menu

My Safari install has died and doesn't work, so I can't test. But at least in OmniWeb, I can click and hold links to get the contextual menu. I'd think it's the same in Safari. But that doesn't negate the ability to use ctrl-click, of course.

Thanks guys,



just one more thing: command + option +escape, i'm guessing the apple key is command but which one is option?



thanks

Yes, the command button is the same as the apple button. Option is the key between command and ctrl - the alt key. :-)
