cbirds paused, thought it over, and spoke thusly: >I agree, but I and others have had many board posts removed by Apple >when we pointed out shortcomings that needed attention...Apple >doesn't seem to like public criticism. I suppose nobody likes criticism, and someone who doesn't know me in real life can hardly be expected to know that i can respect a person and their experience and still not agree with every one of their specific ideas. And, on top of that, I love it when someone says, "Yeah, but three weeks ago you said you didn't/did like so-and-so's idea, plan, etc", and I can say "yeah, well, I changed my mind." Rigid thinkers absolutely hate that. Last I looked, the Dock had a *degree* of opacity, not 0%, i.e. not 'transparent'. Or, did that change after 10.2.6? ~flipper
