Apple Pro Tip of the Week--Force Quitting from the Dock

If an application hangs or otherwise quits functioning in Mac OS X, one can just force it to quit and relaunch without causing problems for Mac OS X or any other application running. This is a major improvement of Mac OS X of prior versions of the Mac OS. There are many ways of force quitting but the easiest is to simply control-click on the application's dock icon. A dialog box will pop up and then press the Option key so that the "Quit" command changes to "Force Quit." More details are on this Apple Pro web page. [Dana Baggett]
