im not quite new to mac, i started to have my first mac when MBP cames out. then i have mac mini. and use the mac keyboard. i just wonder what are these keys for.. F13 until F16.. 'clear' (on top of '7' button), 'help' on top of delete key.. thanks
 
I think F14 and F15 do brightness of your screen down and up respectively. F13 takes screenshots in World of Warcraft... 🙂

Whatever you do, don't press "Clear". It formats your hard drive.

Not sure what F16 is for. Maybe for war time.

Okay I really have no idea what "Clear" and F16 do. I guess "Clear" works on the calculator to clear the screen.

That, and integrated screens with iMacs.
 
Yeah if they don't do anything I just propose you press them if you get frustrated. At least you can't hurt anything you're working on.
