[X-Newbies] Computer icon on desktop.

[Brian Durant]

OK, thanks. It is weird that Apple somehow could leave this and
virtual desktops when OS X is based on BSD and both are found in Linux
as well. Apple first plans to implement virtual desktops in Leopard,
but that is a step too far for me as I still want my Classic.

Cheers,

Brian
