Making Cents

Just thought that I would share this with those of you that don't know. I posed this question to my friend and she found the answer for me.

I have been wondering for some time now, why there is no cent key on a keyboard. Admittedly you don't need it as often these day because how many things do you really need to notate with the cent symbol and it's pretty easy to just type "cents"

For those of you who really want to know, it's really simple on a mac just type OPT+$ to get a ¢ symbol. On a PC you need to type more then you do to just type "cent or cents" but here it is ALT+0162 to get the ¢ symbol.

Hope that helps!

And it's a cool ass cent sign, too!

And on a PC you have to do it with the numeric keypad, not the numbers above the letters, and you have to hold Alt down the whole time, and it won't appear until you let go of the Alt key.

Whew! PCs suck!

Elitist Mac-ers! ¢¢¢
