Yep and I'm still waiting for go.microsoft.com to load. Hey give me good old RISC OS where everything worked the way YOU wanted it to. The one thing that I really miss and have not encountered anywhere else is separation of the cursor and mouse between different apps. IE you have one app that has the cursor in it but another app with the window focus that is reacting to mouseclicks. You then could have one app reacting to mouseclicks that controlled the other eg text and image entry. Ohhh I could go on and on, but that has been the case since 1991? :-) Cheers Bob _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
