What?! Oh dear. This sounds like Apple is trying to turn all of us into
neat little boys and girls.
Taking a look at my desk (hell, my office) right now, it might not be a bad
idea. But I prefer having everything on the main window, thank you.
And, at least from what I understand, the original idea behind the Macintosh
is that it is a computer that caters to us rather then us having to cater to
it. Sounds like a change in plans to me.
