When you do suggest improvements, it would be good to see what you come up with that others have not. Funnily, there are some things I don't use in windows and find easier on the Mac and some things I've found on mac that aren't in windows like that neat little click when you are downloading something.

I have this thing about dedicating myself to learning how the Mac works on its own terms, then maybe making suggestions for improvement. js On Dec 2, 2008, at 2:41 AM, Cara Quinn wrote: > Simon, thanks for your note.
