Why The [Account Setting] And [Preference] is Under the [Edit] Menu
Where on the windows build it is under the [Tools] Menu.
Any Idea?
It is the difference between what someone considers "standard" for
Windows vs. Unix. (And it annoys me as I use Windows at work, and Linux
at home.)
<g>I believe Netscape (and even Mosaic?) used the [Edit] menu. Then
along came
MS and just to be different chose to use the [Tools] menu. Now firefox
is converting
all of the IE users back to the fold, but we all know how simple minded
windows
folks are so can't confuse them too much. Therefore the windows version
is under
the [Tools] menu. Now the unix folks have never had to deal with IE so
they've
been blessed all along with the preference being where it belongs under
the [Edit]
menu.</g>
Now personally I'd love to see the windows version have an option to use
normal
menus vs. ie-like menus. Have the windows build be default ie-like for
a release
or two, then switch the default to where it belongs...
Have fun,
Roy
