   Not what that symbol... but it is easy to "translate":   
      
   Windows Key = Command Key   
   Alt Key = Option Key   
   Ctrl Key = Control Key   
      
   (You can alter this in software, but those are the signals sent).   
      
   Happy to help you. Actually surprised you did not know that... it is fairly   
   common knowledge for most in the tech community.   
      
   But the bigger issue here is you thought an INTERNET boot (emphasis mine) was   
   booting from the internal hard drive. LOL! That was really silly of you.

   Right... she pretended *I* made your error. She made the claim about me, AS IF   
   I made YOUR error. As if you were my sock.   
      
   You really do have an issue with basic comprehension. LOL!

   It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with   
   you.
