Don't pick on just Apple. Microsoft seems to introduce changes to Office, and then propagate those changes to the rest of the OS. For example, they completely altered how menus work, and then replaced the whole system's menu operations. I'm actually glad that the "ribbon" never got propagated. Seriously, if I didn't already know that "ctrl-S" would save, I never wound have found it on the ribbon. -- Political and economic blog of a strict constitutionalist http://StrictConstitution.BlogSpot.com _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
