- I'm annoyed. Darn annoyed. First one upgrade, then another after another has switched to the 'Save/Don't save' form of standard dialog box, replacing
- the simple, clear, 'Yes/No/Cancel.' So at first I had a special Quickey
- for just those buttons...but then I discovered that SOME developers use
- 'Don't Save' (the S capitalized), some use the smart quote apostrophe...as
- a result I have about six Quickeys that do one function--tell the Mac
- that NO, I do not want to save anything. Wouldn't a simple 'No' have
- sufficed? This is one place where the Apple User interface gurus have
- overthought this one, big time. Just say 'No'!
