I guess you don't do true multitasking either (so, I'm wondering who does ;P because it's not a logical progression since it requires a refocussing of your attention to a new position on the (useless) dock. Your explanation also does not make sense to me unless you physically position your apps on the dock (and, unless you like to live with a huge dock, that's impractical). Not exactly a GUI coup. That also reminds me of the problems with command-n in the Finder -- Apple breaks its own GUI rules that it has so stringently enforced for over 15 years. Ah well, you and I seem to disagree on every aspect of Apple's intentions and I doubt that'll change. Eric. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
