No...I prefer focus-follows-mouse and highlight -> middle-click cut and paste, and I prefer not to have my data entry interupted by dialogue windows that grab the focus without warning when they appear. I also like multiple virtual desktops, and Spaces doesn't (yet) work quite the way I like. But it is improving, and I'll give it another try at some point. I also use mostly X11 apps for my work, so having other stuff (browser, OOo) also in X11 is simpler than switching back and forth. The reduced functionality in e.g. browsers (no flash) is rarely a problem for what I do. I'm used to being in a minority :-) Different people use computers in very different ways, what is optimal for one is not necessarily efficient for another. -- Viv ------------------------------------------------ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv Quantum Information Physics & Astronomy University of Leeds ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
