- Seconded, thirded, and fourthed. I'd had the same question myself,
- just didn't get around to asking it before Chris did. As one who's
- been using computers since 1971 and Macs since 1986, I'm surprised and
- disappointed that Apple screwed up this interface decision so badly
- that a fairly knowledgeable user such as I was left in the dark. (I
- *did* read the manual, but either I missed that page or I'd forgotten
- it; and a Mac shouldn't hold you victim to your memory of where the
- secret trap doors are.) I'm also disappointed, but not at all
- surprised, that Chris's question prompted jerks around the world to
- send him a snotty, arrogant, totally information-free response. Can't
- wait until they try to ask *him* a question...
