Except the drag-to-save. That's something still hateful to this day on every (other) OS - I have a Filer/Finder/Explorer/whatever window open, and I can *see* where I want to save the file to. A nice, clear to use, icon based system. But I have to navigate a text list in some bastard son of F*/F*/E*/$...@!# to the *same bloody place* if I want to save my new document there. makework. I've just had to do the *same thing twice*. Why? Why did the computer make me do something twice? Isn't it supposed to reduce my workload, not double it. Gosh. This is a 20 year old hate. And I think I've never aired it here. Nicholas Clark
