after spending more than 14 years staring at macintosh screens, i don't
want to make my gnulinux look like another mac. c'mon! i much prefer the
more adventurous things i can do in KDE and with eye-candy applets etc.

btw, i keep my taskbar on the top, never at the bottom. when apple first
designed the menu, they kept it at the bottom. user interface response
showed people found it better and more intuitive when at the top. the
visual of a menu dropping down is intuitive to our understanding of
gravity. people thought it did not take too much space when on the top.
so apple realized this and shifted it to the top. needless to say, the
macintosh GUI was a super roaring success.

ironic, when m$ created their mac-wannabe, [windoze] they put the
taskbar at the bottom. typical.

and so we have the majority of the population of pc users, keeping their
taskbar at the bottom.

endnote: NeXT put it on the right as a vertical, in NeXTstep. but deep
down steve knew what human cognition and perception intuitively
understands.
