how come then that tabs are becoming so popular? if l33t h4x0rz like fullscreen terminals, and windows users like fullscreen windows, probably linux newbies (at least those coming from windows) like them too. linux newbies not coming from windows should most likely not care. who is left to not like them? well, actually, windows users do not understand full screen browsing. many do not realize when a new window opens und are just baffled when they find their browser history gone. greetings, martin. -- looking for a job doing pike programming, sTeam/caudium/pike/roxen training, sTeam/caudium/roxen and/or unix system administration anywhere in the world. -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org is.schon.org Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
