Move a File in the Finder
Sometimes you want to move a file in the Finder across volumes, not copy that file. Holding down the Command key while dragging ensures that the item is copied, and then its original deleted, adding up to a move.

| U.K. Pronunciations
U.K. Pronunciations -- Jonathan Sanderson <jonathan@quern.demon.co.uk> commented on our FAQtoids 001 answer about the pronunciation of URL and a specific part of the URL:
The U.K. magazine New Scientist last year asked for suggestions on how to pronounce the "http://www" part of many Web URLs. Most people agreed that the finest idea was "Hitweb." For example, you'd read <http://www.apple.com/> as "Hitweb apple dot com." Sadly, it hasn't caught on. Also, URL is usually pronounced "you are ell" on this side of the pond. I had no idea what you were writing about when I first saw "earls" - they're something else over here.
