Tips and Tricks
Watch an experienced computer user: Hands rarely touching the mouse, it's a hot-key here, key-combo there, fingers flying, applications popping up, doing their job, disappearing, with the experienced user whistling a merry tune all the while, with you watching in anguish.
Not fair, decides a novice, I can never learn this.
This is precisely the wrongest statement to make. Even the most experienced computer guru had to start somewhere.
Sure, the tricks are many, and some are more useful than others, and others are more useful to YOU personally than some, but it doesn't take more than a piece of practice and a piece of patience. Combined, these two help you achieve outstanding results. In fact, it may very well happen, that one beautiful day you will create a hot-key of your own and, when you do, you'll crow, "Take that, you old so-and-so, you're just a show-off, but I'm the master!"
Now, don't tell that old so-and-so, whom you should be thanking, because it was s/he who had pushed you onto this path in the first place. In any case, let's keep it our sweet secret. Meanwhile, here are some of the nice tricks that can make your computing life so much easier.
