Joe Offer Blue Clicky Thing - A New Standard? (31) RE: Blue Clicky Thing - A New Standard? 26 May 99

My Pentium 133 with 32 MB of RAM is getting a little sluggish on 1999 software, but it still works pretty well with two or three browser windows open. You can open a new browser window from your "file" menu or by pressing CTRL-N, or by selecting "open in new window" when you right-click on a link.
Working with two or three browsers is especially helpful when you are creating links in Mudcat. You have one browser open for the Mudcat thread where you want to post a message, and then you navigate to the target page with one of the other browser windows. When you get where you want, highlight and copy [CTRL-C] the link from the address bar, and then paste it into your link on the forum message (the target URL goes into the RED part of the example below). I know that HTML standards require quotation marks within links, but they almost always work very well without quotes and links without quotes are less prone to have mistakes.
