_Plus_ that handy little control strip.
Makes win owners cringe with envy. 🙂

Mac users and ex-Mac-users are strange. And I don’t understand all the rest of this thread either. My 95 OEM OS was installed with the taskbar at the bottom, with the Start button at its far left – but so what, I can click anywhere on the desktop to bring up the Start Menu. And the RT clock is always visible at the far right of the taskbar, with all the mini-icons of the programs set for activation at start-up stuck in the task bar just to its left. This all seems ideal to me. I never thought about whether one could set any of this differently.
