 I disagree. It's little things like the About the Finder... and the Monitors
 Easter Eggs that make the Mac a fun machine! Stuffy computers are boring. The
 little Monitors popup still makes me chuckle.

 Now I'll grant you that this must be balanced against code size and potential
 side effects, but the little things I've seen hardly seem excessive.

 Nice job on 7.0, Apple! Now about that Imagewriter print spooling...

 BTW, Adam, you might consider putting carriage returns in your postings.
