Well, the key with the apple is the apple key <smack>, and and the one with the 'infinity' (it's not really) symbol is the command key.

Ah, the apple key (makes sense). Though the apple key was the same key as the command key.

Safari sucks? ...and, all the cool kids use vi(m).

As far as text editors go...

You can use Xcode/Project Builder as one (if it's installed).
Alternatively, use BBEdit (also, if it's installed).

Considering that there's OmniWeb, Camino, Opera, Mozilla and IE still to choose from a person doesn't have an excuse to be stuck with what they think is a sucky browser.

Personally I don't think it's too horrible a browser (depending on the version number) but your mileage may vary. The fact that Mozilla is a big heap of steaming horse dung on any platform is a given though.

Second Justin! vi(m) is the way to go. Also, thanks to your site, Keith, I've been using Crimson editor while I'm on my XP partition. Good editor, the tab feature makes me smile. I've since learned the evil of my old emacs ways (too many escape and ctrl patterns to memorize!! and I hate those annoying little ~ backup files some versions automatically generate, although I'm sure there is a way to turn those off)

Safari does not suck... it's got good support for standards, and is pretty fast. I still use Mozilla, but for many OS X users, Safari is fine. It blows away IE.

the Apple keyboard I'm typing this on has a 'command' key that is often called the 'Apple key' It has that cloverleaf symbol and an Apple on it. Other keyboards may differ, but it's always the command key. Yes there's also a control key. Mine says 'control' and not 'Ctrl'

As for a text editor, there's always jEdit, which runs on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, etc. If you can stand the Java requirements of it, it's a nice editor.

Pete, thanks for recommending jEdit... I would never have thought of using a Java editor, but now that you mention it it seems like a great fit. Though, I'd prefer to use J if it works on a Mac.

Safari does not suck

In my few minutes of using it had A. major rendering errors on parts of my site that work fine in Mozilla and IE (though not only rendering errors, but it did weird things like cut off the side of a text box I was typing in - it kept flashing on and off as it covered and uncovered it), and B. crashed on me. It's possible it was an old version, but my short experience with it was very bad. Though, I've used it at my friend's house briefly without problems (though I still wish it opened a new tab when you double click on the tab bar where there's no tab -- like Firefox does).
