November Keyboard Shortcut

Well, November is ending, but here's a keyboard shortcut that can carry you into December and beyond:

Quitting/exiting an application/program--for the Windows user, press and hold Alt, then press the F4 key. This works for most applications, including Type to Learn, Zoomtext, and browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox.
On a Mac, the shortcut to quit applications is Command-q. Try them out, they can help students and teachers work more efficiently on the computer by not having to search for that mouse cursor!

In technical context, this should unload the app from memory, but there are exceptions - Windows Mobile platform does not close the app in question at all - it just minimizes the window when equivalent keys are pressed. iN console applications (those ones I'm writing), one can press CTRL+C to exit.
