Move Multiple Windows Simultaneously in Spaces
Command-drag a window in Spaces to move all windows associated with the dragged window's application to a new space. Control-drag will do the same thing, and will also preserve the same screen position in the space in which you drop the windows.

For anyone working on a IIci with After Dark, the screensaver from Berkeley Systems, you should upgrade to version 1.1c. The new version fixes a bug that causes crashes when the screensaver kicks in while DAs are open. It also includes a Randomizer INIT, which allows the screensaver to automatically switch modules after a specified time interval, and several new modules, including Spheres (which draws 3-D spheres on the screen, Draino (which swirls your Mac screen down a drain in the middle of the screen), and TacTiles (which fills the screen with a tile pattern). Also included are several previously released modules, Shredded Crystals and Starry Skyline. The upgrade is available from on-line services.

Another option when Outbound -- The Outbound portable Macintosh has received attention because of its method of avoiding Apple's copyrights. The purchased must own a Mac Plus or SE, and the Plus or SE ROMs are used in the Outbound. However, it is possible to purchase ROMs legally through certain dealers. Such ROMs have been used legally for several years by owners of the Spectre 128 and GCR, Macintosh emulators for the Atari ST from Gadgets By Small, Inc. In addition, Outbound will be offering replacement ROMs for the Outbound's host that will allow it to be a dedicated AppleShare server when the Outbound is not connected.

Refilling DeskWriter Cartridges -- Some users have complained about the relatively high price of the ink cartridges for HP's popular DeskJet, DeskJet+, and DeskWriter printers. Judging from numerous discussions on Usenet, it is possible to use a syringe to refill the cartridges with good quality fountain pen ink (which is also water-soluble, sorry). Be warned that HP does not condone such measures and you may clog or otherwise damage the ink jets on your printer.
