Laptops, on rare occasions can turn their ‘num lock’ on by themselves. As easy as it can be to turn it back off, it’s just that it can be very confusing for someone who doesn’t understand the problem. Here’s how to turn ‘Num Lk’ off if you want your keyboard acting normal again: hold ‘Fn’ and hit the ‘Num Lk’ button. (You have to hold Fn while doing this, because otherwise, the computer will think you were trying to press ‘Scr Lk’, or scroll lock. I don’t know the layout of every keyboard of every computer laptop ever made, so it might be different for you.).
What’s in your Inbox?
The answer should be folders can be used for retaining historical information, or for splitting up emails that still need addressing. For example, create a folder called ‘To be posted’ for email enquiries that require something to be sent out in the post. Then you can easily access all of these enquiries at one time to prepare the postal mail at the end of the day or end of the week, instead of searching for them throughout your inbox. If you’re keeping an email ‘just in case you need it again’ it should be in a folder, not in your Inbox. If you want to keep the latest jokes and recipes, place them in their own folder too or consider a separate email account for personal communications.

Many of the “cheaper” laser toner cartridges you find in stores and elsewhere are refilled with toner, but the components are not replaced, which can cause problems when you are ready to print.
