On the subject of all those annoying pop-up windows:
This isn't a way to get rid of them, but one hot key combination that comes
in handy for closing them quickly is to press Control + F4 (this is for pc's
- someone who is a Mac user could probably post the equivalent hot key combo
for them). Personally, I really like hot key combinations, since they're so
much quicker than having to move the mouse around. With the frequency they
pop up at, you almost need to keep your finger on the Ctrl key at all times,
but on the positive side you can develop the finger on your rt. hand to
almost the single-finger staccato speed of Jimmy Smith!!!
Another way to help Bruce save on bandwidth, & the rest of us with both
download & reading time is to only copy the pertinent part of the message
you're responding to. Copying a 5 paragraph article just to put a comment of
"Right On, Dude" is kind of overkill. I usually grumble about this from time
to time & things get better & have been pretty good in that aspect overall,
but I can see the "overcopy syndrome" starting to creep in again, so just a
curmudgeonly, yet friendly reminder. Thanks
