No, you're not. I don't like it either, any more than I like anything that is stuck in reverse video. (I once had someone's OSX laptop on loan for a while. I spent hours searching for a way to get it out of reverse video. The closest I found corrupted all colours other than black and white - it basically turned the whole screen into its photographic negative.) I also don't like anything that makes me bounce back and forth between keyboard and pointing device (mouse, trackball, touchpad, etc). Use one, or use the other, but making me shift between them frequently is a sure way to not only kill my productivity but vex me greatly. And that's quite aside from my philosophical dislike for anything closed-source, including Aqua. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents montreal qc ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
