luminescente

Today at work accidentally pressed Command + Option + Eject and the computer went to sleep.

Nice, didn’t know this shortcut on OS X. Mac veterans will surely point out this probably predates MacOS X by a decade or so, but hey, my first Mac was bought a month after the release of 10.2 (Jaguar), and the only time I booted OS 9 on purpose was during the first week I had the computer. From then on my only experiences with OS 9 were mostly choosing “Force quit” when I accidentely started a classic app on OS X.

Still, there’s something about that interface. It lacks the bells and whistles of today’s GUIs, but it surely makes my crummy 1024×768 TFT seem huge compared to OS X.

Still, I googled for this shortcut and found the following:
