I really like the ability to see what a site looks like before deciding to visit it. Great for school (and me)!

  • Key the following (you’ll see the pattern really quickly!):

a

ab

abc

abcd

and so on all the way to z

  • Then, submit your comment and I’ll get it and be able to give you a grade!  Simple as that and NO PAPER NEEDED!  How cool, huh?  We’re saving the environment and learning keyboarding all at the same time :-)
