10 Time Saving Keyboard Shortcuts
Time is money.
And when you constantly have to divide your time between your mouse and your keyboard, your workflow rate really slows down. That's particularly true when you're working on a laptop, where the pointing device is even slower. The answer - short of growing another arm - is to learn a few "handy" keyboard shortcuts.
Here are 10 of the best: 1.
Make a quick exit: ALT - F4 will terminate any program immediately. 2. Flick - don't click: ALT - TAB to flick through open programs. 3. Make a quick selection: CTRL - SHIFT and move cursor with left / right / up / down arrows to quickly select areas of text.
4. Cut, copy and paste to the chase: CTRL - X / C / V to cut, copy and paste selected text. 5. Undo what you've done: CTRL - Z will undo anything.
(And to redo: CTRL - Y although this varies between programs.) 6.
Page - don't scroll: In MSIE use Page Up & Page Down to save time fiddling with the scroll bar. 7. E for explorer: WINDOWS KEY - E to open windows explorer.
Use up and down arrows to quickly navigate through folders. 8.
Rapidly rename: F2 - rename a file or folder in Windows Explorer 9. Find it fast: CTRL - F to find text on a page (And CTRL - H replace it). 10. Fly through forms: Use TAB to move forward through forms and SHIFT-TAB to move backwards After a little practice, your fingers will be flying across the keyboard like a shortcut pro. And you'll save a huge amount of time too..

The notebook computer is coming of age. For the first time in history, notebooks or laptops are out-selling their bigger cousins, desktop computers.
The rise in popularity of the notebook computer can be contributed to many factors: drop in prices, stiff competition, aggressive marketing, but perhaps the biggest factor - increased performance.
With each new generation of notebooks, we are seeing some novel breakthroughs: dual core notebooks, PCI Express, Sonoma Chipset, increased storage, increased RAM, faster CPUs, better battery life and better wireless access including a Cellular Modem Connection. All these new innovations are making for a more powerful computer embodied in a sleeker smaller package that consumers want.
However, as most notebook enthusiasts know, to get full enjoyment from your laptop or notebook computer - you must have certain essential accessories. These laptop accessories will greatly...

Eliminate Formatting in Outlook Or Outlook Express
I often use copy and paste to take content from one e-mail and add it to another. Because of the cost of ink and the limited knowledge of some of my friends, I usually like to make fonts smaller and change them from color to black. But I often have a hard time changing both the font and the color, and sometimes I can't do either. I'm wondering whether this has something to do with the originator's programs. In any case, I'd appreciate any help that you can offer in this area.Whether you reply or copy/paste, cleaning up formatting in HTML-based e-mail messages can be tough.
Just because the sender liked pale green text against a background of clouds doesn't mean your reply needs to be equally illegible. The easiest solution is to convert the message to plain text and then, if desired, back to HTML. To do that in Outlook, you would select Format | Plain Text from the message's menu, click Yes to confirm you want to discard the formatting, and then select Format | HTML. Using just...

A Happiness Poem
If a happiness poem could bring forth a smile, Then my face would always dress in style.If my ears could hear my computer screen,From one to another, they, too, would grin. My keyboard types for my eyes not my tongue This happiness poem will never be sung.But what of my eyes?
Don't they shine? Yes, but not from this poem of mine.The pen is mightier than the sword, But a pen can write only words.The feelings I sense and the senses I feelFor keyboard and screen remain far too real.My ears and my nose remain at rest. My cheeks and hairline are doing their best.But if this happiness poem could make my mouth smile, My face would forever dress up in style..
