The Need For


Speed
Computing today is all about one thing
—speed! It's not just enough to be able
to use computers, because, let's face it;
everyone and their monkey can use a
computer these days. What's more
important, and what will set you apart
from the crowd, is how fast you can use
the computer to do your bidding. The
difference between an average
computer user and an advanced user
often comes down to how many
shortcuts you know. Many of you are
already adept at some basic shortcuts-
[Ctrl] + [C] to copy, and [Ctrl] + [V] to
paste.
Whatever the case, there's no way
you're going to remember all the
shortcuts you need to...
