One of the main       reasons was that it didn't work too well with Codetek Virtual Desktop Pro.       The other was that Comino just feels more Mac-like although the lack of       extensions is limiting.              As an aside, Virtual Desktop Pro is an excellent application for anyone who       has switched from BeOS to Mac and misses the desktops. The free (and Free)       Desktop Manager provides much the same functionality but lacks some of the       features that came out of the box under BeOS.              Cheers,              Steve              --       The reply-to email address is a spam trap.       Email steve 'at' shodgson 'dot' org 'dot' uk              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
