Thanks, Heath! Great tip about the option key for minimizing. Unfortunately, I’ve tried the option for maximizing and it’s never been successful for me. :(

Mac OS X is very powerful and has many modifier keys for instance if you hold down option when you click the green plus button then the window is maximized to full screen (apple call it the zoom button). Another helpful modifier is to hold down the option key when minimizing a window, this minimizes all the windows (like windows-D on XP).
