>> Hey everyone, welcome to Tekzilla Daily, I'm Veronica Belmont. Today's tip comes courtesy of Alister [assumed spelling] who hails from the land of the long white cloud. Okay. Now if you're an OS X user with a fancy for keyboard shortcuts, Alister has a great tip for you. He writes, "When I first switched to Mac I thought the eject key was pretty lame, but recently I have discovered just how useful it is when used with the modifier keys." Want to send your screen to sleep, just press Control, Shift, Eject. Wanna send your whole computer to sleep, that's Option, Command, Eject. Need to restart, it's as easy as Control, Command, Eject. What about shutting it down all together. Control, Option, Command, Eject. Thanks Alister, it's always great to hear from our viewers down in New Zealand -- oh, that's it. Now, if you have a tip or trick that you wanna share, then email us at Tekzilla@revision3.com and don't forget tekzilla.com it's the place to find more tips, tricks, product reviews and how-tos. ^M00:01:00
