Membership in BUG (Barrie technology Users Group) is open to all who have a genuine interest in technology, be it computing, digital photography, or video.
Our members consist of a mix of people at every age, gender and level, from new users to experts in nearly every field. We are people like you, who want to learn more about technology. We want to be able to go into technology stores and know what we are buying, what questions to ask, and what is a fair price. We want to know how to do our own basic maintenance and to use the equipment we purchase to its fullest capabilities.

Hold the windows key and press break.
This one will open the System Properties dialog window which displays your RAM etc.
A lesser known shortcut but still useful!
QUESTION
When I am on the internet using my browser the text is sometimes too small. Can I make it bigger?
ANSWER
You can make your text bigger or smaller quite easily!
Hold down the "Ctrl" key and use you mouse scroll wheel, up or down, to increase or decrease the text size.
If you do not have a scroll wheel use the "-" and "+" key on the number pad or on the keyboard top row ... again, while holding down the "Ctrl" key.
