Yes - and I have more than one app open at any one time.. and usually want to 
reference stuff I can see in the other windows. This isn't Windows where 
everyone maximises every window :)

I don't mind what the default is :)

I lived with NNW's widescreen view for about a week before I got so fed up with 
moving the massive window out of the way all the time and went back to the 
proper view. Part of this is because I only want to see a few items in the 
headline list: my current item and one or two above and below it. Again I have 
lots and lots of folders in NNW. According to MercuryMover, my NNW window is 
currently 1067 pixels wide and that's more than wide enough for me.

Clearly I need to move to a "one task and one task only" mindset as that's the 
new black! Then I would only have one app open at a time and my computer would 
probably be faster :)
