And what is the value of the stack's maxHeight property?
the MaxHeight is only available when the stack is resizable. I have the

Exactly the point. That's what Apple should have done.

They made the change because it's more like moving the page with your finger on
the iPad/iPhone. You want the page to move up - you flick up, move down, flick
down. This is the exact opposite of the old scrollwheel way where you moved the
scrollbar thumb, not the contents. Also, once you get

Yeah, I can certainly see that it would be more natural for gestures
and/or a trackpad. All I can say is it confused the heck out of me and I'm

My two cents:
about the scrolling: first time I got a mac (in '88) I found the way scroll

about time machine: yes, it can be a plague. I recently thought of excluding
~/Library/Caches
in the Time machine options
and things are definitively better now. IMHO,

still my favorite car, even though I inherited a 2005 Prius.
