The print screen button does something!?
You know that button that you pushed a couple of times expecting your printer to actually print what was on your screen? The button doesn't literally print out your screen, but it does do something else. If you push the button and then open up any image editing software or any text editing software with imaging capabilities (Microsoft Word, Wordperfect, etc.) and press Ctrl + V (Paste); an image of your screen will be brought into the program. So the next time you have an error message that you can never replicate when your IT guy actually shows up (but swear it actually exists); just use this little trick to capture it quick and easily in hopes that the IT people will believe you.

Flash drive is the new floppy .
You haven't heard? Well in the past couple of years you may have noticed people carrying around these funny little sticks that they plug into the front of their computer that store data. Well it turns out that someone developed the ultimate floppy drive killer and some of them can hold more than a DVD (that's about 4,000 times more capacity than a floppy...). Most new computers don't even come with floppy drives due to these guys. Need to catch up? Well just click here to learn how to use one.
