Tabbed browsing does amuse me somewhat - until recently, web browsers were the one type of Windows app that worked like a Mac app, where each document had its own distinct window. IMO this makes it much easier to arrange/organise/navigate between documents, especially if you're using several apps simultaneously. It seems to me that the Windows UI is application-based, and the Mac UI is document-based. Now with tabs, we're sticking everything back into the one window again. I guess it doesn't matter so much since most people seem to maximise their apps regardless of screen size, which is something else that I find mildly amusing. FWIW I think tabs are a good feature if you tend to have lots of browsers open, and I use them a lot myself despite having masses of screen space available as it helps to keep the screen a little less cluttered. They're even better on Windows when you have the task-bar hidden. - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
