That you don't actually have to type www. into the web address bar at the top of the browser.

Must have saved myself about 57 seconds overall this year. Well happy!

Linux.

Oh, and while I'm about it...Opera browser too.

I've got an old machine sat next to me that I've been meaning to wipe and chuck a Linux distro on, primarily for use as a server but also so I can finally get around to tooling around with Linux.
