I'll just note that since the demise of IE for Mac, all Mac browsers are Tabbed. I simply tend to run far to many tabs for a multi-window setup to be viable, they start to break down past 4-5 individual windows per app (And I'm running 15-20 or more tabs across two seperate browsers right now). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
