Save SMS texts to Gmail from your Android phone

I had a lot of very important SMS messages and I wanted to save them - but how? I have an HTC Hero with Android, I went to the Market and downloaded SMS Backup by Christoph Studer. It uploads your SMS messages 100 at a time (you can change this if you want). They appear in your Gmail with the label SMS. It works very well. The other nice feature is that it can automatically upload your SMS texts to Gmail as you go!

Change the orientation of your screen

Maybe you have a monitor that can be turned 180 degrees or perhaps one day by accident you found your screen upside down? For any Windows PC with the right graphics drivers you can easily change the orientation of your screen:
Press Ctrl-Alt-arrow key

For example:
Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow will turn your screen back to normal.
Ctrl-Alt-Down Arrow will turn your screen upside-down.
Ctrl-Alt-Left or Right Arrow changes the orientation to portrait.

Try it and see!
