Open Links from Mail in the Background
Tired of switching back and forth between Mail and your Web browser every time you click a link in a TidBITS issue or other email message? Here's an easy workaround. Hold down the Command key when you click links in Mail to open them in your browser without switching away from Mail. That way you can keep reading in Mail and then read all the Web pages you've opened.

Long File Names
Long File Names -- In the last few issues, we've been talking about long file names in Windows 95, and how these names are truncated to an alternate 11-character (8-dot-3) version in many cases, including when transferring files to a floppy and then reading them on a Macintosh.
David Kilzer <ddkilzer@earthlink.net> wrote in to alert us that Apple is now offering better support for long file names on floppy disks and other media via PC Exchange 2.2, part of the just-released Mac OS 8.1, a free update to Mac OS 8.0. [GF]
