DIY Techno-hacks
Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Well on XP you need to click
Start = Programs = Accessories = Accessibility = On-screen Keyboard.
Just click on whatever letter/number etc. you want. Just like typing on a PDA.
