Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How to Submit Your Viewer Video On Any Gadget!

Another video submission from Giz Wiz Fan Jim Manley. It arrived with this email:

Hey Dick and Chad,

Here's a video of my vintage Coleco Pac Man game.  I can't remember what year we got this, but it was bought new for my sister more than 30 years ago.  Everyone in the family enjoyed playing it.

Thanks,

Jim Manley

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:

I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.
-
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
-
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.
   My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
-
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live, I can email an autographed to you Alfred E. Neuman photo if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific!

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Letter of the week...   From our friend Mark at Google no less!!

From: Mark Renne
Subject: Chromebook Keyboard

Hi Dick:

How are you? (A Chromebook question and you didn't ask me, I'm a little hurt.)

In Episode #1742, you wondered where the delete key was on the keyboard.

Much like the standard Apple keyboard the backspace key acts as delete backward.  Delete forward is Alt + Backspace.

To Chad's question of Caps Lock, that I Search  + Alt. (I think we all spend more time searching than yelling.)

Wait a minute ... I can't remember all the shortcuts ... just Press Ctrl + Alt + / (forward slash)

And if you like the old school listing, it's https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/183101?hl=en

For fun, try ...Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Refresh. (Refresh is at the top row like an arrow chasing it's tail or F2.)

Lastly, something no one notices ... all the keys are labeled with lowercase. The only keyboard to show you what you get when you type, not the uppercase as shown on most keyboards.

Thanks, Mark from Google.

Mark, thank you!!  Dick & Chad.
