Perhaps you're poorly served by your browser. My laptop is native at 1400x1050, and I almost never get a scrollbar thumb too short for me to grab reliably, but that's in Firefox, which probably purposefully limits how short the thumb can be. So, clearly, confusing Back-page-lists not withstanding, there's a call for it. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
