              • File NAMES and EXTENSIONS
                • There are FEW limits on what a file can be named but "/", ":" and other  special characters are usually NOT allowed
                • File EXTENSIONS tell the computer what program to use to work with that type of file
                  • Big List of File Types/Extensions
                  • BIGGER List of File Types

                    • .pages = Pages Document
                    • .txt = Plain Text File
                    • .csv = Comma Separated Values File
                    • .key = Keynote Presentation
                    • .vcf = vCard File - Address Book File
                    • .mp3 = MP3 Audio File
                    • .flv = Flash Video File
                    • .m4v = iTunes Video File - SAME AS MP4

              • KEYS & how instructions are written
                • Keys you press are written in quotes like this: "⌘"
                • If you need to press multiple keys they will have + signs like this: "control + ⌘"
                • That means you press "Control" and then while still holding "control" you also press "⌘"
                  • Let's try "⌘+TAB" - what does it do?
                  • Try it again "⌘+TAB" - NOW what does it do?
                  • Now try "⌘+Shift+4" - what did THAT do?
                  • The "Command" key on a Mac is kind of like the "Control" key on a PC.  
                    • Try "Command + F" - what did it do? 
                    • What does  "⌘ + P" do?
