You asked about two things:

1) The location to put the programmer's switch.
A) Easy enough. It goes on the right side near the back, and two of the
   ventilation slots are taller, and will accomidate it. Note: Believe it
   or not, Apple Customer relations will answer this on the phone (I have
   called and gotten some typical User group type questions answered now,
   such as the serial number cut-off on the new fans, (F749... and later).
    They now seem to have more answers available for the average Joe, so
   we can now again refer people there instead of ripping our hair out...)

2) The use of the Color Menu.
A) Also easy. Highlight an icon by clicking on it. Then pick a color. The
   icon gets a taste of Ted Turner's special coloizing process, and blammo!
   it becomes colored. You can now select "By Color" from the "View" menu,
   and the icons will be sorted in the order that the colors exist in the
   Color menu. This is very useful for the now crowded System folders, so
   that one can quickly find CDEV's, as an example. Until Apple finds
   some better way of identifying CDEV's and Printer documents (wink, wink)
   this is it.

Hope it helps,

      West Coast)
