Perhaps a >-) is in order.  :)

I found them extremely intuitive, and well planned.  I didn't find the
two gadgets, screentofront & screentoback, real intuitive.
Screentofront didn't seem real useful, and I always seemed to hit the
wrong one.  With 2.0, all there is is screentoback, I think, and it's
great.  Extremely intuitive.

I almost never really use dragged screens.  I just pop thru with the
button.  It seemed awfully intuitive to me, and I started as a Mac
fanatic (looking in retrospect, they were kind of dumb, but now
they're almost half an amiga...  :-)

Of course.  :)  If I had a bible for every comment, I'd be a
brainwashed christian.  :D  And once again, it's a joke folks.

BTW, some %*#!^% jacka$$ wrote me a note about that smiley'ed
comment...  I could have sworn that that's what the smiley was meant
to avoid.  Let's mellow out, folks.

As always, Greg
