Track Changes Dates Reset on Save As in Word 2008

If you regularly use the Save As feature to create new drafts while working in Word 2008, you might notice that with Track Changes enabled, previously time-stamped comments and edits have their times reset to the Save As date and time. Work around this by sticking with your original file, but using Save As (or just File > Duplicate in the Finder) to make backup copies.

Trash Tip for Mac OS 8 PowerBook Users

NetBITS editor in chief Glenn Fleishman recently noted: "Pressing Command-Delete is a convenient way to move selected files in the Finder to the Trash without mouse action. But, if you accidentally hit Command-Power - a mistake that's all too easy to make on a PowerBook - you'll instead be presented with a debugger dialog box containing a > character. In some, but not all cases (it depends on the state of the Mac when you entered the internal debugger), you can continue by pressing g (g stands for 'go') and Return. Much of the time, you'll be returned to the Finder where you can continue working."
