Best free computer program quick reference guides and general computer posters.
1. Custom Guide: http://www.customguide.com/quick_references.htm
This is the best guides I have found.
Custom guide is an excellent resource where you can download quick reference guides and manuals for popular Microsoft, Mac and Adobe software applications
The quick references contain keyboard shortcuts and brief description of the menus and options available in each software. Just ‘Right-click’ on any of the titles on the web page and select ‘Save As’ to download the reference manual. All references are in PDF format and free.
I give some of these out to select clients, they love them. Handy for myself too.
2. Make use website general cheat sheets. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/7-essential-cheat-sheets/
Only down side is you have to subscribe to get a copy of these. However it's free to subscribe, just use a spam email account to get it, have to use link in email to get them. Topics covered:

3. Tech Posters: http://www.techposters.net

It is a useful poster that visually presents all the possible hardware parts (memory, A/V input/outputs, processors, hard drives… etc) in your computer. You can download and print it out for free.

Very basic, just a list of keyboard shortcuts, but organzied to be printered on one page
5. The Web Developer's SEO Cheat Sheet http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-web-developers-seo-cheat-sheet
Couple years old, they may have an update, but I cannot be bothered to look for it.

Lists commonly used commands, switches and what they do. Good for beginners.
