Ummm. Typo. Make that '40'. 400? Sheesh. 40+ is scary enough, thanks. > > Did you try Paul Berkowitz's "Account & Signature Shortcuts" script for > this? It's very handy for this purpose. > <http://www.scriptbuilders.net/category.php?search=Signature+Shortcuts> Yes, it's interesting, and effective for some, but it's a great big annoying kludge where proper adherence to Mac OS behavior should have been in the first place. That I should be expected to go find and install an obscure third party script, then go find some third party OSAX, then go through a tedious process of generating a script for every account I have (see above), plus remember to regenerate a new script anytime I create a new account, then assign (and remember) a keystroke for each one, is just insane when some simple, standard programming behavior would have allowed me to Tab to the account popup, press 'Return', press the first letter or two of the account name or at least arrow key my way through the menu, press 'Return' again and I'm done. >> What really needs to be done is a website with user-submitted feature > Microsoft is implementing this into their newsgroups > <http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx > See this page for details: > <http://communities2.microsoft.com/library/gallery/components/wn/3/locales/h > elp/help_en-US.htm#GiveMSFeedback> > It hasn't yet been implemented officially in the Mac groups, but the Mac BU > do monitor this mailing list as well as the newsgroups for feedback. I haven't seen this in action yet, so I'll reserve judgment until I see it working (or not), but I fear from the posted text that no one in charge of that list is going to work very hard to be sure similar feature requests are properly consolidated to insure voting blocks are as large as they should be. From the warning text, I suspect that if people fail to search properly (or, more likely, a search fails to return prior suggestions that are similar), that a valid popular feature could be split into too many voting blocks, and fall through the cracks because whomever is running it will rely on their own technology to only show them the highest voted items. I also wonder how public, let alone how valid, the voting results will be. Then there's the whole 'gotta play the .Net Passport game' just to be allowed to maybe have someone listen to you. Pardon me if I don't feel like giving MS my CC and/or other personal data just so I can suggest a feature for software I've already paid for. Why must MS do, rather, make us do everything the hard way? > I agree, but I think that it might not be feasible for Microsoft to fix > every bug for free, especially considering that some bugs are rarely > encountered and some affect a small number of users, and that these bugs > might take a disproportionate amount of money to fix properly. God I get so sick of hearing that excuse. How many other industries are allowed to raise that dirty flag and make us cower, as though we're to blame for the dirt ourselves. How many other industries can get away with building defective products they have no obligation to fix, and people just keep coming back for more, hoping they can buy their way clean. One day I hope that software users as a whole gather together and say, 'Enough. we've paid you for a fully functional product, and you're not getting another dime out of us until you fix what you sold us and it performs as promised, intended and expected.' Am I really the only one who uses Office Notifications? Am I the rare occurrence that isn't worth consideration? Am I the only person who has ever been maddened on a daily basis at the embarrassment that is the Office Notifications window behavior? I think what is disproportionate is what I am being charged for what I have received at times.
