Not that The Bat's handling of attachments is an improvement. Sometimes, one person's improvement is another person's unnecessary complication. That would be the person who doesn't want to learn a new way. Rather than resist change, I think people sometimes simply don't want to be bothered with new learning. They are busy enough. It gets difficult for developers who want to attract new users with new ideas. Of course, new users aren't resistant since they don't have a previous way of doing things that seems good enough. > Or at least make it an option to hide all the noise. > -- Ira -- Gleason ________________________________________________________ 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
