While on the subject of the switcher interface, I must say I liked it very
much too. Whenever I have multiple applications/documents open, I almost
always have the one I am working on fill the entire screen. With switcher
{assuming switcher compatability, of course} I pressed the button & the other
application/document I was working on quickly slides in to fill the screen.
Now... I shrink the window, look for the window of the application/document
I want, make it active then grow it to fit the screen {yawn}. Switcher
was ever so much quicker for the way I work.
About the only time I have two windows showing at a time is when I want
to compair small parts of both.
Is likes my windows BIG.
