Ok I got 3ds max 7 today :). I modeled before with Blender, and 3ds max is just so different for Blender :).

So is there some hotkey refense page out there on internet? So I can quikly get use to them.

check out the default.kbd file in the UI folder, could be opened by any text editor

Hit F1

Then click on the search tab and type in "hotkey"

Cheers.

There's also the HUGE quick reference card that came in the box. I always keep them under my keyboard... nice reading while rendering. :)

ditto... no need for extra resources at all to learn the basics... max comes with a great manual

Since around Max 5, there is also a nice Flash-based interactive keyboard map. You move the mouse over the keys and discover what shortcuts are assigned to them. In addition, the same data is used during the startup, but it is a random static page.
To start the application, look for the Keyboard map item in the Help menu...

I have seen systems though where this feature does not show anything. Hope it works in your case. Of course, the printed card that comes in the full package is even better.
Also, you can go to Customize>Customize User Interface>Keyboard and generate a text file with all hotkeys currently assigned, if you want to print it out or something...
