And the fact that I didn't know that the barely discernible color difference
on the cable shows the proportion visible just goes to show just how non
intuitive Open Look's scrollbar is. :->

Seriously, you can't expect to magically glark *everything* right off. You
had to learn how to point and click, didn't you. I know, one day we'll
have a direct cerebral interface and this business of learning a few rules
about a UI will go by the wayside. We'll just know it all intuitively, just
the way we know the real world.

Yes, that statement is sarcastic. As a daddy I know all to well how the real
world isn't always intuitive...
