Very well put. As for the gender-loaded language, we gotta work with what we're given... ;-) > Indeed. I'm currently working on a cross-platform, scriptable GUI > toolkit.

Sounds great! > Ooh, don't get me started on the Dock. :-) As a late switcher from the other side, I find the Dock useful, elegant, and hard to live without. Far from perfect, of course, but better than any Windows alternative I know. As far as I can tell, though, most of the people vexed by it tend to be veteran Mac users. Just anecdotic evidence, I guess, but food for thought... I complement the Dock with XMenu and Namely. And, since I can't program my way out of a paper bag, I use multiple screens and several computers for simultaneous tasks. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
