that when you hit ctrl and roll your mouse ball it changes the font of everything. I was wondering why my email font was sooooo tiny lately. Until I just accidentally undid it just now...

Okay, I was thinking this was probably a very obvious thing, I'm glad I'm not alone. But my school email required a jeweler's eyepiece to read it for about a week now. Until today.

I did not know that either. But, I found out something more ridiculous once. On my old laptop, there was a combination of keys that I hit accidentally. To this day, I cannot recreate this. However, whatever I did hit the coice recognition function in Word, so the computer recorded everything said or any noises from the TV and typed it out by itself. Unfortunately, it was all gibberish. It looked like my computer was possessed and typing all b y itself. Thankfully, I do have a witness to this. Larry and I sat there watching it just go off by itself. I've never sen anything like that and don't know how to recreate it, which is a shame, because I could have hours of fun messing with people.

I didn't know that. I never know these things.
I don't think I'll try it. I'm afraid I'd mess everything up.

You probably had a Dragon software package on that computer. It converts spoken words to text. A very popular software. I think there are about 3 versions of voice recognition packages from them.
