Super cool computer tricks, for dopes like me.

I'm running a windows 7 laptop ... so I tried it .... pressing ctrl+alt+ the left arrow flips the screen image 90 degrees counterclockwise. Pressing the right arrow will flip it the other direction. Pressing up arrow brought it back to normal.

(Not sure what happens when I reboot.)

I just showed my tween this cool new trick, without showing the key sequence, and he says, "ctrl+alt+arrow key ... I've known that about 2 years, dad."

Perhaps you should be rocking Firefox.

Hold down both the Control key and the Print Sc or Sys Rq Key at the same time and you have just taken a screen shot. Now open a text editor like MS Word or any other text editor and place the cursor where you want to place the screenshot you just took when you clicked the CONTROL + Prt Sc Sys Rq Keys. Right click the insertion point and chose past and the screen shot has been copied to the text page. Now you know how to take a screen shot!
