Blimey! That's longer than I thought they would.

A few years ago my then boss made us all go on a three week course to learn how to navigate around a computer screen by just using the keypad shortcuts.

It went in one ear and out the other. !laugh!

It's handy to know though Trumpy.

Only yesterday I installed a new motherboard, cpu, ram and gpu for a mate who only had a usb mouse. Because it was a new motherboard, XP booted up and it didn't have the correct usb drivers so no mouse would work. I had to install all the chipset, network, audio, and graphics drivers using the keyboard. Pretty easy really, but without knowing I'd have had to find someone with a ps2 mouse.

Yup. I did have a booklet which explained how to use the shortcuts instead of the mouse. I'll rummage around amongst my book collection and dig it out. Alternatively I could just copy the link you posted earlier. !wink!
