Coolest Useless Thing a Mac Can Do!

Do this for fun.... Hold down the following keys, all at the same time. Best to start with the first and then add each. COOL HUH? To reverse, just do the same thing. Better yet, do it to a friends Mac and make them beg for you to put it back to normal! (dont worry, its harmless!)

fn-ctrl-option-apple-8

UP-DATE: Seems the mac mag I got this from was wrong, you don't need the 'fn', just crtl-option-apple-8 does the trick! Still works best rolling through them one at a time and holding, rather than depressing all at the same time.

if you try hitting all 5 keys at once it wont always register all 5 and you'll find you have to try over and over, but if you roll through the keys one at a time, but not lifting until all 5 are down, you'll see it works perfect every time.

best application: do it to someone else's mac and make them give you a dollar to put it back. :)
