I think my point was missed on this one. Don't force the user to view all windows/palettes the first time they launch it. Let the user decide if they want to view the Application Browser. > > The Tools Palette > > 1.

Well, with the test I just did...it's not hard to be anonymous. In fact, it's a Snap! Get a hotmail account, request your key, setup your account and upload your stack. I mean, if I loaded a stack from RevOnline and all the stack did was email my Microsoft PassPort information to some server in Baghdad, I'd be kind of worried. I guess my opinion on Rev Online is this: I will not support it in any way what-so-ever until some sort of Security is implimented within it. It is wide open to hackers and does nothing more than provide a front door to an individuals system (Macintosh, Windows or Unix/Linux). All they have to do is open the door. > Thanks for the feedback. Your Welcome. Like I said earlier, I love Revolution and what it has done for me, but there are some areas that I see problems (in my opinion) and I just want to get my voice out there. But thanks for listening.
