Well, I never liked them, so they must be a waste of time and engineering resources. Heck, if other people can take that attitude why can't I? I would have put a smiley at the end of it in the original message, but that would have killed the effect I was going for. > I haven't found a good alternative to this in OS X yet.

It gives you a menu with the contents of the folder, and lets you open the folder itself or any folder or document contained therein; it does not collapse the folder after you move the mouse pointer out of it, though. > At home, I have an iMac DV SE, 400Mhz, 1g of RAM, 60g HDD, and a 4x USB > CD burner.

I almost bought a 17" iMac last night; the local Apple Store finally has them in stock. The $2,000 price is keeping me from it, though; I'd have to dig into my equity line of credit for that. funny thing is that if they had it in stock during the OS X roll out, when they had a 10% discount on all computers, I would have bought it then. Funny how that 10% can affect one's purchase decisions. There are only two reasons I want it: the larger monitor, and the adjustable monitor; I wear bifocals, and having that adjustable arm would let me position the monitor so I don't have to strain my neck to see through the right portion of the bifocals. --Michelle Never play strip Tarot. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
