So my mom just asked how I magically pasted text with the keyboard. The answer is a keyboard shortcut.

If you want to copy or cut something and then paste, it is quickly with your keyboard. The + (plus) does not mean hold the plus key, it simply means to hold both the key on the left and the right of the plus at the same time.

This is how:

CUT: ctrl+x This will cut the selected text. (you wont see it on the screen anymore)

COPY: ctrl+c This will copy the selected text. The highlighted text will still remain.

PASTE: ctrl+v This will paste the text wherever the mouse curser is.

You can highlight text with the mouse or by holding the shift key and moving the arrows. The best technique I have found when pasting text is to hold down the ctrl key with my pinky finger and then hit the other key with whichever finger is convenient. You can copy text from just about anything on your computer but you can only paste text in certain areas. For example, text can be pasted to a word document or email. All of this can be achieved by right clicking on a mouse but when you get used to using keyboard shortcuts you will find they are much quicker. All of this applies to the Mac, even the same alphanumeric keys but instead of ctrl you hold down the Apple key. I think this explains everything a little better than the previous post about copying and pasting.

I was just at the AT&T web site and saw they now offer a SIM card only option where you can use any GSM phone you want. Of coarse there seems to be some SIM Compatibility issue with some phones and a two year contract is required. What 2 year contract is required!

To me, this seems like a great idea and step in the right direction because this phone locking business has to stop; however, the excuse for the two year contract was you used to get the phone subsidy (phone at a discount). To me, this seems more like one step forward and two steps back.

I just recently bought a MacBook Pro because I can put Windows on it having two laptops in one. Mac and Windows. The first time I booted windows after the BootCamp installation I freaked out because there was no way to right-click.

Well, it took me about a minute to figure out a quick way to do it. I assumed this would not work but because you install Mac drivers after the Windows install I decided to try. To my amazement, right clicking works with the touchpad just as it Works while in the Mac environment.

All you do is touch the touchpad with two fingers and then use a third (I suggest thumb) to get the right click functionality. I am very thankful of Apple to think of this in Windows because windows users are lost without a quick way to right click. We just need all those options!

So thats it! Two fingers on the touchpad and another to click. This will get you the right click functionality if you are in the Mac environment on a MacBook or MacBook Pro or if you are using Windows with Bootcamp on a MacBook or MacBook Pro.

Happy Clicking!
