Hmm.. I use the PW, and I would consider myself a power user (receiving 350+ mails per day). However, the difference may be that, living in the styx, I am stuck on dial up access, and it is handy to know what is going up & down th epipe. If I was on cable or DSL, checking every 2 minutes, I would probably dispense with it except when trouble shooting. However, I have never noticed this bug because I leave the window in the background with the top expansion triangle pointing down and just let it grow as needed. -- Barry Wainwright <http://www.barryw.net> He who laughs last, didn't get it. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
