First tip: I've been spelling it right, but according to someone who heard me say it on the radio show Saturday, I've been saying it wrong. Here''s what one patient had to say about the way I said it:

> Chimera is pronounced "kai-mera", not "chee-mera"
>
> We use the word in genetics to refer to an
> organism that is created by combining the genes of two
> others. In this case, the name probably was chosen because
> it refers to a browser that combines the best of Cocoa and
> Gecko/Mozilla.

Try the link if you want to hear the Merriam-Webster approved pronunciation.

And thanks to Sam M. for setting me straight... your t-shirt is in the mail.

Second tip: When I used to use Internet Explorer, I would open the Organize Favorites window, select my favorite 19 sites, then double-click any one of 'em. Since all 19 were selected, all 19 pages open at once, each in its own window.

The windows stack up nicely, and while I'm reading the frontmost one, the 18 windows behind it are loading in the background. All in all, a pretty good way to read my morning news, but 19 windows are kind of a pain in the tuchas. So...

In Chimera, I have a special bookmark called "My 19." When I double click it, all 19 of my favorite pages open. But this time, I get one window with 19 tabs. And while I'm reading one, the other 18 pages are loading into their tabs in the background.

Yee HA!

It took me a day or two to figure out how to do this. Here's the deal. Open all the pages you want in the group, each in its own tab. When you've got everything just so, choose Add Page to Bookmarks from the Bookmarks menu (shortcut: Command-D). As long as you have more than one tab on this window, a sheet pops down. You can name the bookmark and choose which folder to save it into from this sheet. But at the bottom you'll see a checkbox that says: Bookmark all tabs. Check the box and you'll get a special group folder with bookmarks for all the currently open tabs. Double-click the folder icon and all the pages open in their own tabs. Totally slick.

There is one last thing... since I know at least 5 of you will write me and ask what my 19 favorite sites are, I copied the list and pasted it here:
