Open Links from Mail in the Background
Tired of switching back and forth between Mail and your Web browser every time you click a link in a TidBITS issue or other email message? Here's an easy workaround. Hold down the Command key when you click links in Mail to open them in your browser without switching away from Mail. That way you can keep reading in Mail and then read all the Web pages you've opened.

Kids on the Net -- Benoit Deshaies <desben@infoteck.qc.ca> took slight exception with some of our comments about chat rooms and IRC:
First of all, I'm 16 years old - soon to be 17 - and I've been using the Internet since 1991. I'd like to make a comment about your article's claim that most people using chat on the Internet are teenage boys or men. Perhaps this is true for the U.S. The only international channel I frequent on IRC is #c++, a technical channel, which is an estimated 98 percent male. On the other hand, the main local channel I visit (#trois-rivieres, which is the channel of my town, located in Quebec, Canada) is about 30 to 40 percent female. We verified this at our Get Togethers, which are real-world meetings of the people on IRC. The percentages are similar for other Quebecois channels I've visited.
