- Here's a few things I've discovered:
-
- - ALT-C will pop up the calculator at any time, when running any
- application.
-
- - When the batteries get low, the clock speed drops by 1 mhz every time
- it tells you that the batteries are getting low. The clock speed
- isn't proportional to the battery life, just proportional to how
- many times it's told you about it. If you turn your machine on and
- off 7 times when the batteries are low, you'll be running at 1 mhz.
-
- - Fn-F6 changes the display to a lighter font.
