My Computer Skills.
« on: May 26, 2008, 07:47:12 PM »
I'm tired of being the butt of endless jokes about my computer skills so I'm determined to improve them. Okay, the top line of keys on my laptop start with "esc" and then there's a sequence of "F" numbers with pretty pictures underneath. What the hell are THEY for? I've never touched any of them in my life!

I'm scared, Tarks, scared. It's just sittin' there and I wanna...but... I'm scared. Sometimes, I'm alone here in the dark and I wanna just reach out and touch but I can't. I can't. Don't ask me to do this, Tarks. There ain't nuttin' I wouldn't do for you, Tarks, but don't ask me to do this. I'm beggin' you.

Is this on its own or in conjuction with the Fn key or ALT key?

On its own. They're the default key settings for Mac, running with Leopard anyway. My older desktop machine doesn't have Leopard, so I'd have to check their functions.
