Lightbulb google word definition tip
Need a quick word definition? Go to Google and type "define:" (without the quotes) followed by the word. So, if you want to know what "gigabyte" means, just type in "define: gigabyte" (again, without quotes) and hit the Search Button. You'll get a list drawn from several sites.

For the Opera users you can highlight a word then when you right click on it you will be given several choices. Dictionary, Encyclopedia or the option to translate it into any of five common languages, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.

Good point! I had forgotten about that. I'm thinking of trying out that Opera 8.51 soon.
