"Iconify" turns a window into an icon the size [etc., etc.] Well, I got my first look when my BYTE mag arrived yesterday. I also finally got the screen dumps to look at. True, it does look more "professional". However I will miss with much sadness the intuitive feel of "iconic" gadgets. It used to be you could tell what gadgets did what just by looking at them. Now they have been replaced by a generic "button" image. Such is progress, I guess. Although I will miss some features of the old 'look and feel', I won't complain as long as long as the power and flexibility remain. In all, good job guys! -- John Meissen ...............................
