What Mr. Poag was referring to was the way that, on a Macintosh, the destination icon highlights if you drag one or more icons around the desktop. The Amiga has nothing even closely resembling this, and dragging icons around the Amiga's Workbench becomes a guessing game as to where the icon will end up once you release it, especially if you are dragging multiple icons, large icons, or both. > >"Think John Hinkley would be impressed if Reagan shot Jodie Foster?" - Me >=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >Nothin like a good single-tasking, single-processor based beep-box like an IBM >to liven things up 'round the office! >-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >Direct all bomb threats and assorted hate-mail to arctngnt@amiganet.chi.il.us -- ------------------------------------------------------------- / Marc Barrett -MB- | BITNET: XGR39@ISUVAX.BITNET / / ISU COM S Student | Internet: XGR39@CCVAX.IASTATE.EDU / ------------------------------------------------------------
