Radio Humberside Lara Show 05 Nov 08

Keyboard Shortcuts: Today we talked about useful keyboard shortcuts. Why not make use of that mysterious 'Windows' key, that sits next to the Ctrl key on your keyboard. Press it once to bring up the Start Menu, but it can also perform some useful functions when combined with other letter keys. For instance, hold down the Windows key and press E to open My Computer, or press F to open Find. Another rarely used key called 'Alt' can be combined with the Tab key to toggle between applications that you have open on your screen. If you use Windows Vista you can go one better and hold the Windows key and press Tab to have the applications rotate in the middle of the screen in 'picture form'.

Today with Lara we also talked about mobile broadband, the catchphrase being 'dongles' which is basically the little piece of equipment that plugs into your computer and gets you online using mobile networks. You can sign up for mobile broadband with any of the major networks. Call into one their stores or go online for details. Prices start from around £10 per month.Importantly check coverage in the area you want to use it, and the return policy if you find it not satisfactory.
