Great!  Where do you find this stuff?

Yeah, that is pretty cool! I never knew the keyboard could do so much! I tried it over and over, and it wasn't working for me. Then I went on this site ( http://fsymbols.com/keyboard/windows/alt-codes/how/ )and had to follow the directions ( I'm a dummy what can I say!??? lol) . I guess I didn't have the num lock pushed or something. It works now. Very cool though, thanks for sharing ! And yeah..where do you find this stuff? lol  ☼

That's cool and good to know. 

[PaulineMi]

Very cool.

Libraries...I agree. When I was a little kid I used to walk to the library on a Saturday afternoon. One time while visiting relatives my uncle said "I'm going to the library".  I piped up with "can I go with you?".  After a good laugh he admitted that he called the bathroom the library. But bless his heart he took me to the real library that afternoon.

Darn cool Uncle, Pauline!

[shatanka]

That is too cute about your Uncle and "the library" story Pauline!

Yes.  It's a lovely story.  What a dear man he must have been.
