►  When typing in and filling out an online form, use the "tab" key to take your curser to the next line in the form.  Easier than taking your fingers off the keyboard and using the mouse to go to the next blank line.

►  Telephone trick - If you call someone you know, and want to skip the "please leave a message" recording, hit the pound key ( # ) on the phone, and you will go directly to the beep.  This works for most land line voice mail systems (Qwest), and many businesses. Does NOT work for personal answering machines, or cell phone voice mail.
