No need to purchase an apple keyboard. On a generic USB keyboard the Alt key works as Option, and the Windows key works as Command. The positions of those two keys are generally reversed from a mac keyboard, so some people swap the function of those keys in the OSX control panel. Using the left side of the built-in keyboard, hold down ⇧ Shift + Control + ⌥ Option while pressing the 'Power' button, then release all keys, and finally press the 'Power' button again. Laptop with removable battery — Shut down your computer. Press Option-Shift and volume up/down to increase or decrease the volume on your Mac in small increments. You can also use Option-Shift to change display brightness in.
