   There is no better way. Whether the content moves up or down when you   
   scroll makes no difference whatsoever in anyone's life. Like I said in   
   an earlier post: you can get used to either way within minutes. Learning   
   the Apple or Microsoft way will not result in "increased productivity or   
   error reduction" in any way.
