It is a pain to have all that muscle memory then have to switch it around.. but they'll get used to it.
I hope they're not used to using v4+ though.... dissolves falling off are a major no-no for me these days, much more of a pain than the alt key position...

Place the appropriate fingers for alt and ctrl one at a time into the vice and torque down just enough to hold the finger in place. Using a rubber mallet so you don't leave scares, whack until the fingers are bent enough to invert the keystrokes when placed in the normal position over the keyboard. This will maintain the WMH's (Whinny Mac Head's) muscle memory and give him/her a great conversation starter. Once the project is finished your can straighten the effected digits by placing them back in the vice and torquing till straight. Repeat the process as ofter as WMH changes platforms.

The editor is used to editing on Macs and asked about installing Autohotkey (www.autohotkey.com) to change the Alt and Ctl behaviors. There seem to be a few different versions of this. Anyone have any experience with this? Are there issues? Which is the best version to load (or some similar program) that will do this?
