now this is trippy. apparently, if certain keys are pressed at the same time, your computer will invert the colors or your screen will display black and white. if you're feeling venturesome this morning, press option-control-command-8 (without the hyphens). kinda neat, huh? press the same combo to get back to square one. this is a great mac shortcut if you ever find your screen in a psychedelic funk.
This is not so neat when it keeps happening completely randomly in a nursery school, where the 200 three year olds are "exploring and investigating IT" and you have no idea why or how to fix it!
ReplyDeletehopefully this mac shortcut will help you out when it happens again.
ReplyDeleteWhen I tried this the first time (which I obviously some how screwed up) it took me to Redbox. I wonder what that key combination was...
ReplyDeleteWow....that is pretty cool! I love Mac Mondays!
ReplyDeleteThis Mac Monday made me laugh! My uncoordinated cat walked on my keyboard awhile ago and managed to press those four keys at once. I thought she had somehow changed the whole layout photobooth effects-style. If only I'd seen this first I wouldn't have panicked!
ReplyDelete@bettermentletters-- initially i was like, this is an odd mac monday. but for the reason you just stated hopefully someone will find this useful if it happens to them:)
ReplyDeleteLol!
ReplyDeleteNot sure of the point but handy to know how to fix it. Spent many an hour fixing school computers that were "eating the words in front!" (That would be the Insert key on the keyboard...)
