• PC User's Tip
  

For both performance and security reasons we have encouraged our listeners to download, install and use the Firefox as your default browser.

After you install Firefox, you need to make it your default browser. Just open Firefox, click Tools>>Options. Click General at the top of the dialog box. In the section labeled "Default Browser," check "Firefox should check to see if it is the default browser when starting."

Click Check Now. Firefox will notify you that it isn't the default browser.

It will give you the option of making it the default. Do so and click OK>>OK. Now all of your links will open in Firefox.


• Mac User's Tip
  
  Most applications that run on Mac OS X have a set of shortcut keys to make tasks easier for you or save you some time. However, most of them don't provide a simple way to review these shortcuts. You probably either print out the shortcuts or you just use the ones you remember. 
  
  I have a great tip if you're using Safari and want to familiarize yourself with the keyboard shortcuts available. I will put a link in the shownotes to an application file that lives inside Safari.
  
  Just type the link into the address bar and Safari will look deep into its resource files and display a page complete with shortcuts. Since you might not remember the address the next time you need to review the keyboard shortcuts, simply bookmark the page while you have it displayed. That way you can't misplace it.
