- Wow. Does this mean sun applications will have an intelligent "file
- open" menu item, like Macintosh has had since 1984? Every time I see
- a mac/next/... file-load dialog box being used, and contrast it Sun's
- "please type directoryname/filename" dialog box, I wonder how Sun
- manages to add year after year to an 8 year lag in interface
- sophistication. It's not like Sun is a small company with no
- resources.
