You know when you put in your username, or some other auto saved data, in a form, and the site saves it for your convenience? Yeah – so it’s very convenient. UNLESS you misspelled the info. Then it is an IRREVOCABLE p.i.t.a. that stays forever and a day. Back in my days of pc usage, I would just highlight the offending entry and click the delete button.

Enter the world of Mac (hello Steve J!) and all of a sudden, I am stuck forever with this annoyance of a mistake that NEVER goes away.

Now, I know. I hear you “Geniuses” and other MAC enthusiasts going “but, all you really need to do is just…” – shut up.

I didn’t learn it until today, so I am going to assume there is at least one more idiot out there like me and I’m here to help him/her. So, WELCOME, idiots of the Mac world. Thank you for stopping by.

For this lesson you will need

1. a Mac
2. a browser
3. an pre-remembered auto filler for a form field that you don’t mind to delete.

Go to the offending entry,
Hold Shift, and fn and then hit the delete button.

buhbye baby!!

I’m on a mad tear –  I’ll be finding all the places I have this issue and killing them. YAY!
