Useful Keyboard Shortcuts

Alright, I am not going to go over all of the keyboard shortcuts because there are so many of them and not worth remembering all of them, only the ones I think are useful. The Windows Keyboard shortcuts and Mac shortcuts are very similar but the main difference is instead of the control button, on a Mac, you would press the apple button or also known as the Command button.
(CTRL-or-Apple)+C: Copy
(CTRL-or-Apple)+X: Cut
(CTRL-or-Apple)+V: Paste
(CTRL-or-Apple)+Z: Undo
(CTRL-or-Apple)+B: Bold
(CTRL-or-Apple)+U: Underline
(CTRL-or-Apple)+I: Italic
(CTRL-or-Apple)+A: Selects Entire Document
(CTRL-or-Apple)+P: Print
(CTRL-or-Apple)+N: New Document or Tab
(CTRL-or-Apple)+O: Open Existing Document
(CTRL-or-Apple)+W: Close current Window
(CTRL-or-Apple)+Shift+N: Create New Folder

My Favorite is (CTRL-or-Apple)F: type a word and immediately finds that word on the page. Very useful and not many people know about it.

MAC Keyboard Shortcuts:
Control+Scroll: Zooms in on the screen
Apple+Shift+3: Take a picture of the screen will leave a .png file on desktop
Apple+Shift+4: Take a picture of the selection will leave a .png file on desktop
Also Hold Shift and Minimize Window

-you can also take a screen shot with Windows 7/Vista with the Snipping Tool
-everyone knows about Control+Alt+Delete

PC vs MAC

We are talking about software not hardware. Price will also be included. which one runs better, the Mac. Which one is better with viruses, Mac. No virus protection needed. I am not even sure if they can get viruses. Out of the box software like for photos and video editing. The Mac. Adobe and Microsoft programs like Photo Shop and Microsoft word are more expensive to get on the mac. Because they usually come with the window version. Not the adobe just the Microsoft. Gaming goes to the Pc. From games you download off the internet and games you but they are usually only able to run on the Pc. The Pc people came out with vista and windows 7. Vista sucked but Windows 7 is ledgit. then apple came out with snow leopard. The only thing wrong with the MAC is that all the software out there is based on the Windows or Microsoft format and cannot even be used by the Mac users.
The prices. You can get a good windows running computer with about 500 GB Hard drive, 4 GB ram, and a 2.26 GHz processor chip for about $800. That is a good price compared to the Mac.
The iMac now with a 500 GB Hard Drive, 4 GB ram, and a 3.06 Ghz chip is at $1,200
If you have the money to spare. then get a Mac. If you only use your computer to surf the web and use microsoft powerpoint then get a Pc. But if you are into Photo editing, Video Editing, music editing, widgets and much more, have the money, then get a MAC.

Your Computer Hardware

No matter what kind of computer, it’s capability is based on it’s hardware. Reading this will give you a better understanding of a good computer and a not so good computer. First you need to know bites scale. It goes from Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, and finally Trilobytes. Or displayed as KB, MG, GB, and TB.
1024 KB=1MB. 1024 MB=1 GB. 1024 GB= 1 TB
(changed from 1000 to 1024 to be exact…)
You need to know 3 parts of your computer that help it run faster. Your Hard Drive(storage on your computer) The RAM (helps run your programs, and software faster) and it’s processing chip this is measured in GHz.
The good computer that should have no problems running well and fast:
Hard drive=80-120-still a bit small
Ram=2 GB
a 2.2 or higher Processing chip.
These change and keep increasing. Check what your computer has but going to your control panel, system and there you can check. on a MAC, click on the apple on the top left of the screen and click about this Mac. Storage capacity is displayed at the bottom of ever folder.

What is the Best Internet Browser?

I have had and tried them all. There is Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, and some other generic ones. If you are using internet explorer, then please after you read this go download one of these above because that one is so far behind. Safari is really fast but can over look and load the script wrong. opera use to be the best when it came out. The undoubtedly best internet browser is definitely  FIREFOX!!!! Firefox is supported on both Mac’s and Pc’s. It has like an app store of free add on’s to customize you look, feel, homepage, and bookmarks. It has Add ons to download videos from youtube and flv downloading. It is th fastest and simply the best. It has thousands of add ons to make firefox your own. Go Download it. As of right now it is in version 3.8 i believe.

Click here to Download the Latest Firefox! (highly recommended)
