Goofy But Cool — surf with your calculator

Ok, you’re on a desert island and…well, lets just say that you encounter a computer without IE and firefox.  So you can use word, etc… but no way to surf the internet.  Before you say it, no, windows explorer isn’t available either.

Here’s the simple trick:

1) Open the calculator (or any microsoft program)

2) Push F1 or the “help topics” button

3) Select the icon on the top, left corner.  Its the one that has a magnifying glass on it.

4) Select the “Jump to URL” link

5) Enter the link you want in the field, eg “http://www.cnn.com”

Any other cool ways to surf that you can think of?

    that’s a sweet trick.
    I wonder if this would work when a virus/spyware has hit the PC so bad that IE crashes everytime you open it (and Firefox isn’t available).
    I would think that “help” browser is also using IE in the backend, and therefore will probably cause it to crash in a spyware situation.

    In this case, I’ve just resorted to: start / cmd / run …
    ftp http://ftp.mozilla.com
    and download firefox :)
