What's stopping you from creating a different window?

And I could just say that *your* thinking is so task-centred that it's
utterly blind to performing the *same* task. I often read news by
opening every link on theage.com.au that looks interesting in a new tab,
and then drilling back through the >30 tabs I've created, reading and
closing. This approach isn't so insane if you consider a laptop and
dial-up: open while connected, read them while you're on the train or
such.

Why is your approach so black-and-white, when it doesn't need to be?
It's ludicrous to the point of being facetious, but previous experience
has taught me otherwise. :\
