Go Back and Forth Fast in Preview
If you're reading a PDF in Apple's Preview software, and you follow a bookmark or an internal link to move around within the PDF, you can quickly return to where you were by pressing the keyboard shortcut Command-[ (that's Command-Left Bracket). Or, you can choose Go > Back.
The command works iteratively, so you can go back to just the previously viewed page or if you issue the command again, to the page before that, and so on. There's also an equivalent Go > Forward (Command-]).

Apple Internet Mailing Lists
I'd like to commend Chuq Von Rospach of Apple for recently setting up two new mailing lists, one devoted to discussing issues surrounding the use of Macintosh Internet client software, such as Eudora, Anarchie, and Netscape, and the other dedicated to discussing the Macintosh Internet server software, including programs like MacHTTP, FTPd, and MailShare. Although both topics are often discussed in the newsgroup on Usenet, many people (myself included) have much more trouble keeping up with a Usenet newsgroup than a mailing listShow full article

Putting DOS in the Machine
If you've ever worked in a "mixed-platform environment" (MIS speak for an organization having different computers running different operating systems), you've probably experienced frustration over file conversion, not to mention general angst over the fact that some programs only run on one operating system. The cold, hard, business facts of life currently state that some people (who would otherwise happily use Macintoshes) simply must use DOS or Windows softwareShow full article
1994 and 1995: Forward and Backward
Welcome to 1995! At this juxtaposition of endings and beginnings, I'd like to pass on some thoughts I've been mulling over in regard to predictions and look back at last year's more interesting events. Predictions -- People often ask me what I think the Mac industry, the Internet, or I myself will be like in five years, in ten years, or who knows whenShow full article
