I don't know about you... But, I like knowing shortcuts so I can do things faster and more efficient. I only know Windows shortcuts... :) But, here's a link to a page of windows, mac and multiple different OS's shortcuts:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts
I'm just doing some basic shortcuts... Nothing fancy-smancy... :)
First off, Desktop shortcuts:
Alt + Tab = Switch between open windows/programs
Alt + Shift + Tab = Same as above just opposite direction
Alt + F4 = Close window
Secondly, Browser and some Software shortcuts:
Ctrl + F = Find/Search
Ctrl + T = New tab
Ctrl + W = Close tab
Ctrl + Enter = Adds the www. .com... So, you type in "blogger" then press Ctrl + Enter and it should go to "www.blogger.com" . Sometime's, not very often, Google chrome will go straight to Google instead of the site... But, that does not happen very often... :)
Ctrl + Tab = Go to next tab
Ctrl + Shift + tab = Go to previous tab
F11 = Fullscreen
These shortcuts are used in every single thing that I have used on my computer and online:
Ctrl + X = Cut
Ctrl + C = Copy
Ctrl + V = Paste
Ctrl + P = Print
And just so you know... Space bar = Play/Pause in most music programs on your computer and online :P

What is:
a) RAM: RAM stands for Random Access Memory.
b) GPU or VC: GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit. You
may know this component by its other name, Video Card.
c) CPU: CPU stands for Central
Processing Unit.

How it works:
a) RAM: RAM helps with your computers speed. It does this by storing
programs that you have opened so that when you close the program and you want
to open it again, it will load faster. RAM resets after you shut-off your computer.
b) GPU/VC: The GPU speeds up your computer by adding
more graphical power to your applications. And sometimes it will accelerate the
refresh rate on your computer. But, that mostly depends on your monitor. It also helps with image processing in photo editing programs, like Photoshop.
c) CPU: This is the main component of your computer. The CPU is basically
a very complex switch and works with 1's and 0's (on and off... Hence the switch reference. :P).
