Neat OS X trick

I bemoaned Safari's default of dragging text to the desktop as a clipping rather than creating a .rtf document as explorer did.
The beauty of explorers way was that any URL's stayed alive. Well guess what they're alive in that very plain text clipping also!
Try this: Open TextEdit, from the Format menu choose Make Rich Text, drag an old clipping from the web into the document, Boom! not only are all the original live clickable links in there but also all of the web graphics that were selected when you dragged the original clipping to the desktop! I'm in love again... sigh.
