- Here's one that I haven't seen mentioned yet...
-
- On the Mac, you can select an icon by typing the first (or first few)
- character(s) of the icon's name, then execute the icon by hitting return. Why
- can't we have something like that? You can also (I think) cycle through all
- the icons on the desktop by hitting TAB.
-
- Also, saw on Computer Chronicles the new Mac OS, Copland. VERY nice. It
- allows you to select different levels of complexity (novice, standard,
- poweruser, etc.), with options such as menu items altering themselves to suit
- what you've selected. You also have the options of altering the look of the
- desktop, ala MUI, but changing EVERYTHING, icons, the look of windows,
- everything.
