RE: Message Box placement
Just reopened my mac 3 years after! could use another home server! Also lots of HC goodies stocked in there!

I'd like it at the bottom of the display, but if the Dock/Task Bar is hidden at the bottom of the screen, the MB needs to be far enough away that a casual slide down the MB won't accidentally activate the Dock/Task Bar.
