Immagine Apple changed their trashcan all the time. They couldn't even sue people anymore for using it :-) Changes like these are confusing and shouldn't be done except if there is a new and enhanced paradigm used that justifies the confusion and that can't be represented by what was used before. --Ronald ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
