    When I was in tech support, one of the tricks I learned to impress customers was the "clock/date" trick. (You know when you hover the mouse over the time and it shows the date!) Back when I did tech support, customers were so impressed.

    What computer tricks do you do to show off in front of friends or family?

    I don't have any tricks to impress anyone! But when I show them how to use the bookmark to keep what they want to get back later, they seemed to be impressed :)

    Don't know any tricks too, but I've had computer problems when the cursor jumps all over the place, so I constantly use the ctrl z to get to the original part of what I wrote and that works really good. I just got computer literate in 2006, a Senior Citizen you see, so I'm still learning a lot about computers. We had to take typing classes in '72 to get our high school diplomas even the boys had to take typing classes. Today I bet the boys are so glad they took typing classes.
