I don't think you are particularly "wrong"; it is basically what one is used to. after a while your fingers "remember" what you have done over and over and an alternative, whether easier or harder, will seem harder for a while. One of the strengths of the Mac is that there are usually several ways to do something, so I don't think "right" or "wrong" really enter into it. -- Cheryl
I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
