The most useful browsing tip ever
Hold down the (right) mouse button over a link to pop up a menu that lets you open the link in a new window, so you can stack up dozens of pages simultaneously for offline reading, or go down a list of links and open them all before reading any, or read one page while another is slowly loading in the background.
A thread about this trick
![[screen graphic of dragging]](multi.gif)
If you make your default windowsize small enough (640 by 480 works best, imho) you can open links by dragging them from the 'index' page to the target window, as in the graphic above. Locating the index at the bottom of your screen works nicely because new windows normally open at the top.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: The Robot Wisdom Pages include far more text
than anyone could be expected to read online, so within the next few months
we hope to offer most of it in a $20 hardcopy edition-- some two
megabytes of text in a 240-page, large-size format, divided four ways
between James Joyce, artificial intelligence, internet culture/ hypertext
design, and miscellaneous topics. If you'd like to be informed by email when
this becomes available, please send
me email with the words 'hardcopy list' as the subject or in the body.
