As for the dock, I find it quite useful. Open programs that have been
minimized are on the right, if they are running there's a little dot
beneath them. If I don't want the program on my dock, I drag it
off... if I want it back on then I drag it back on... AND I can order
them the way I want. Would be nice to have a snake menu for the file
structure (I miss that). I still hate that when you close the last
window it doesn't exit the program by default (wouldn't take much to
do that).
Currently running on my dock:
Finder (duh)
Dashboard (closed)
Firefox (open)
Pages (open)
Numbers (open)
Keynote (open, but no documents open)
Calendar (closed)
iTunes (open, and playing "The Immigrant Song" by Led Zepplin)
TextEdit (closed)
Paintbrush (open)
Windows Minimized:
The Ur Quan Masters Guide
iTunes
Firefox Download Window
Bills for May
Presentation for May 13th
It's actually quite useful... got rid of those freaking stacks day
one... totally useless
I've drank of the cool aid, and it's better than it was five years ago...
