Copy Before Submitting Web Forms
Filling in Web forms (like the one used to submit this tip) can be a bit of a gamble - you put in your pearls of wisdom, perhaps only to lose them all if the Web page flakes out or the browser crashes. Instead of losing all your text, "save" it by pressing Command-A to select all and then Command-C to copy the selected text to the clipboard. Do this periodically as you type and before you click Submit, and you may "save" yourself from a lot of frustration. It takes just a second to do, and the first time you need to rely on it to paste back in lost text, you'll feel smart.

Alaskan Apple Users Group Reviews More Ebooks -- These folks just don't slow down. Thanks to the Alaskan Apple Users Group for reviewing Glenn Fleishman's Take Control of Your AirPort Network and Matt Neuburg's Take Control of What's New in Word 2004: Advanced Editing & Formatting. Both titles picked up the coveted 5-moose rating, and the reviews are worth a read for anyone considering the books.
