Dane, are you sure about that command? I hit the VO-M command twice to get to the system status menu, but entering Ctrl-F8 didn't accomplish anything.
I have this program called Hot Spot Shield that hangs out in the System Status area, and it is, thus far, inaccessible to me. Too bad, because it's a great program that hides your IP address which can be very useful when you are out in public. Does the Ctrl-F8 give you better access to this area of the screen than the traditional VO-M*2?
