I like the concept behind the new browser (removing the vertical buttons in favor of a scrollbar...see your 3.0 Open Panel for an example), but something about it just didn't sit right with me. Then it hit me: You can move the scrollbar and nothing will happen. It seems the browser reacts by snapping to the nearest place to which you dragged the scrollbar. But that just doesn't feel...I dunno...*NeXTSTEP*. In NeXTSTEP, when you drag a scrollbar, something happens--a window scrolls, or a value changes, or whatnot. But the browser doesn't do realtime changes...it's weird. I think NeXT should go back to the original way, or use some other widget to control moving around in their browsers--it doesn't feel consistent. -- Sean Luke Brigham Young University MILK: It Comes From Cows sean@digaudio.byu.edu NeXTmail and nifty Mac stuff welcome
