Sorry if I offended anyone. Fernando, I appreciate your apology. Your comments may apply to some OSx users, but not all of us for sure. I'm a fairly new OSx user, about 2 years, coming from OS/2 and have gotten to like the OSx look and feel, but am not about to throw a fit if something doesn't look just right. If I don't like the look of some software I have the option of not using it or ignoring the look. I suspect that most of us are like that, it's only the vocal ones that you hear complaining and I suspect they are a VERY small minority.
