Some of you probobly knew about this for ever, and may be a DUH! moment for you, but I just found out about it. I got a link to a page that gives 100 different commands you can do on your computer by using simple key strokes, such as ctrl + A, which selects everythin on the page. simple stuff, the one I just found which I am surprised I never knew about is [ Alt + Enter ] wow cool. makes web pages look way better. If you already know this one no big deal but if you dont try it right now. It gives you a better view and realy cuts down on scrolling. If you guys dont know alot of the cool key strokes, like me, I will be glad to post the 100 tips if you guys are interested.
Alt + enter didn't do anything for me? _________________________________________________________

I know this PC stuff is a bit off topic, but I found some of it useful when Im on the HQ. figured I might as well list them anyway, most are no brainers, some you wont ever need or want to use anyway. but if there is One in there that you discover and find useful it is worth looking through. When I first started using 360-hq I was frustrated that I could not right click to copy or paste anything on the site, then I discovered CTRL+C and CTRL+V, which made my life easier here especialy when adding links.
