Can any one help. I am trying to locate the shortcut key for EXPOSE. Does any one know where they have moved it to on the newest Macbook.
Appreciate the Help.

Isn't it F3 or F4 now? Look for the icon which looks like the Expose Application icon in /Applications.

I believe the default expose shortcuts in Leopard are as follows:
All windows: F9
Application windows: F10
Show Desktop: F11
You can also hide/show your dashboard with F12
Hope this helps!

To view all open windows in that space, hit F3.
F1: Brightness down
F2: Brightness up
F3: Expose
F4: Dashboard
F5: [Customizable]
F6: [Customizable]
F7: Rewind/Previous
F8: Play/Pause
F9: Fast-forward/Skip
F10: Mute
F11: Volume Down
F12: Volume Up
Unless you changed these from the default, then this is what it should be (standard on the SR Macbooks)
F1: Brightness down
F2: Brightness up
F3: Expose

Slight point, these aren't actually the F-keys, they are the second function of the F-Keys. By default to use the F-keys you have to press the 'fn' button in conjunction with the key. With that point made the original expose shortcuts are given below
fn+F8 = spaces
fn+F9 = All windows
fn+F10 = All application windows
fn+F11 = Show desktop
fn+f12 = Dashboard

thats odd because I haven't changed those preferences on my MB and they work for me (although I did do a clean install when I got it)
I don't understand why the new keyboards have dashboard and Expose shortcut set to F3 and F4. They should have just kept them on the F12 and F9 keys and moved the volume and media keys to the left (F3 to F8).
