pot bellies

I just noticed something interesting about my posture.

Sitting in a local wifi hotspot, Intelligentsia, and I see someone, sitting talking to freinds, with his arms crossed in front of him. And I think "Why are his arms crossed?, I do the same thing.".

My Answer: Because he has a pot belly. And so do I for that matter. Perhaps I am embarrased and want to hide my pot belly.
Interesting.

Perhaps I should note this and instead, accentuate my pot belly (for fun!). This is done, by placing my arms under the pot belly, instead of crossing them over the pot belly.

ALT + TAB

Great use of Windows Multitasking. Apple Users can use their Apple Key for the same effect.

Try it.

1. Hold the ALT key (or Apple Key)? ?  and press the Tab Key.

2. A menu will appear.

3. Use the TAB key to switch between the menu items.  Icons of your programs are available in this menu.

4. When the correct program is selected using the TAB key, release the ALT key, and your program will become the foreground of your computer screen.

Note:  If you hold the SHIFT key while press TAB key, the menu selection will go in reverse.

Now you can switch between programs quickly and easily.

Using the mouse can slow you down Keyboard shortcuts are great ways to save time and get more out of your computer.
