I guess my computer must be broke, doing that doesn't change a thing. I assume it should make the type larger?

I found that one out while proping my feet on the computer desk, my leg squished the Ctrl key while I was scrolling thrugh BudsGunshop.com.

Well now ain't that a cool trick...have you guys been talking to my wife? I was at the eye doctor the other day and he sent me to the dollar store for reading glasses.

My cat walked on the key board one day while I was scrolling. Print got huge real fast. Took me hours to figure out what she stepped on.

But it does help.

That's got some practical joke potential there.

Some of our computers at work will rotate the view on the monitor if you hold "Control" and hit the arrow keys. We did that to one guy's computer after he left and the next morning when I got to work he was cussing a blue streak and had his monitor turned sideways on his desk to use it.

Travis Morgan · Post by **Travis Morgan** » Sun Jan 06, 2008 12:30 am

Anyone know another way to do that? I've been trying to figure out how to do it on my wife's laptop.

Leverdude · Post by **Leverdude** » Sun Jan 06, 2008 10:09 am

Thanks Blaine! Thats a mystery solved! I did that the other day by accident & couldn't undo it. Ended up rebooting my computer & it came back normal.
This is a Mac tho, it works with normal computers too I guess?
