Have you ever found a web site with lots of links that you'd like to use as ª point of reference but were afraid that if you started clicking the links you'd never find the original site again? It's happened to me before - I've started clicking on some interesting links and before I knew it I couldn't ¯ind the site I started from.

Both Internet Explorer and Netscape have a cure for this - it's called Pivot Surfing. Instead of having a link open in the same browser window as the main page, it opens in a completely different browser window so you have two browser windows open at once.

For that matter, you can have as many browser windows open as your system resources will allow - which is usually quite a few.

The process is virtually identical in both Internet Explorer and Netscape. Instead of clicking on a link as you normally would with your left mouse «utton, right-click on it. This will pop up a small menu box - from there select 'Open In A New Window.'

Voilá - your link opens in a new browser window and you still have the original web site open as a reference.
