Of course the difference between all of the cute X stuff and the cute
Finder stuff is that the cute X stuff is optional.  If I don't want it,
I don't grab it, or if I have it and decide I need the disk space for
something more important, I can just delete it.

And try and remember that not everyone has the attention span of a 2 year
old and needs flashing lights and ringing bells to get work done.  I have
nothing against the flashing lights and ringing bells, as long as I can
get rid of them if I don't want them.
