thanks
Just double click the bar where all the tabs appear, and it will open a new one

I've got an excuse... I've only done manual work since I left school, never worked in an office and I left school in '81, computers were still kind of exotic then.

Love that clicking the trackwheel thing...brilliant

Re: mozilla question

I have a theory about levels of computer user.
It can be broken down to 3 stages:
1. The fearful - new to computers and fearful to use it/try something new as they are worried abut breaking it (call people at stage 3, even to change ink cartridges etc).
2. Fiddlers - have been using computers a while so try clicking things but don't always understand what they are doing. Often break things but don't know how to fix it (call no 3 but don't admit what they doing. Would be simpler to fix if they just owned up).
3. Expert - fiddle but have acquired the background knowledge so know what that setting will change and how to recover it if things don't go to plan (do "homers" fixing problems for 1 and 2).

Just about everyone will fall into each category at some point!

Re: mozilla question

also if you click on a tab with the trackwheel it will close it.
