Option Click

In Tiger, in the Finder, to get a single "Get Info" box for several documents, or to open several documents in an application you can use the option (alt) button when you go to file (or right click) on the selected items
"Open With" turns into "Always Open With".
"Get Info" turns into "Show Inspector".



It's easy to begin books, I have begun four at the moment though i am only really reading two of them. If you abandon a book for long enough when you return to it you won't have a clue what's going on when you finally pick up where the bookmark tells you you left off. I'm trying to finish at least one of the books before the end of the year; that is in about a day and a half. It's a good book that can suck you through past the lost momentum that emerges after 30 or so pages. If it's a "rollocking good read" then it never loses any momentum in the first place. I find that Margaret Atwood's novels and short stories are in the "rollocking good read" category; also Edith Wharton and Michele Roberts (writers I chose because I have been reading them recently).
