Option-click to Hide Apps Quickly
This trick has been available in the Mac OS for years, but many people still don't know it. If you have too many windows cluttering up your screen, you can hide specific ones easily as you work. When you're in any application, hold down the Option key and click on another app's window, on the Dock, or in the Finder to switch to that other app and simultaneously hide all the windows in the previously current app.

Quicken 7 R6
by Steve Becker 
Steve Becker <steve@macease.com> writes:
Intuit has released an R6 update for Quicken 7 and Quicken 7 Deluxe. The update fixes several bugs (see TidBITS-353 and TidBITS-359), and the non-standard ROI (Return On Investment) calculation in the Portfolio window has been replaced by the preferred ROI calculation used in the Investment Performance report. In addition, Q7 users may wish to know that Connectix's Speed Doubler can significantly speed the opening of Register windows, and indexing error warnings can sometimes be avoided by increasing Quicken's memory allocation (an additional 1 MB worked for me).
