Maybe a Doctor Can Explain This...
Slide your chair back a little bit.  Now pick up your right foot about 6 inches off the floor and start rotating it clockwise.  Now use your right hand to draw an imaginary number "6" in the air.  No matter how hard you try to keep the clockwise rotation, your foot will change direction.

Windows Opening Too Large and Can't Resize Them Down?
Sometimes it happens that one or more program windows open too large and you cannot grab the right corner borders to resize them and access the minimize buttons.  Well here's a quick keyboard control sequence to fix that problem...

1.  Press keyboard keys "Alt - Spacebar".
2.  Press keyboard key "s".
3.  Press keyboard key "right arrow".
4.  Press keyboard key "left arrow" repeatedly.
5.  Press keyboard key "Enter" when done resizing.

This also works to resize a program window from the top down by first pressing the "top arrow" key in step 3 followed by repeatedly pressing the "down arrow" key and pressing "Enter" when down resizing.
