Computer Knowledge

I seem to be much better at using a computer than anyone else I know. So here is a quick knowledge test. Just post the ones you do know.

How to bookmark a page
How to open a new tab
Know keybord shortcuts
Know how to look at your history
Able to type fast
Know how to use the right-click pop-up menu
Know how to scroll the page up and down (this one was a shocker)
Know html
Know BBCode
Know some scripting
Know how to close out of a window (this scared me)
Know how to use Paint
Know how to start programs (this one also scared me)
Know how to slide scroll
Know what the F1-12 keys do
Know how to activate/deactivate Numlock, CapsLock, and ScrollLock
Know how to print
Know how to insert ClipArt into a word document
Know how to save stuff (for the love of god...)
Know how to open the Task Manager

That's about all I can think of. Yeah, I'm a super computer nerd.


People treat me like I'm just another speck of dust on the floor. But I'm actually a little speck of dust on the ceiling!

Re: Computer Knowledge

Pretty much all of them.

In computers class we went over fonts, and printing, and saving... And I was bored out of my mind...

Re: Computer Knowledge

It's quite obvious that either you guys are all with me in advanced computer users, or everyone in my class is as dumb as rocks when it comes to computers.

Re: Computer Knowledge

the one you should be asking is if people know the parts of the inside of their computer if it's a regular computer and not a laptop
