It's very small and very nice, especially on SE's ... 'cause you get a serious amount of overlap of open windows with the smaller screens. It was also the source of the weirdest wrong number of my entire life and it went something like this... I got this program from a public domain software server at Lancaster polytechnic and the credits say (ish) "if you like this please send $10 to Marsh Gosnell" and an address in Monclair. Now the cdev was a year or so old so I'll phone international directory enquiries to get his number so that I could ring him and ask him if his address had changed and how to get the money to him (since I live in Brighton, England! Lo and behold he's not at that address but there is a company number call Marsh Consultancies in the same town. (Sorry if Monclair is a city, don't know America that much) So I ring this number and the conversation goes like this... (before I start I should point out that my first name is Norman but so is my dad's so I'm called Craig (my second name). The relevance will become apparent.... Brackets are my coments not the spoken word. dial number.. ... ... ... ... ring, ring, ring, ... Secretary: Hello, Marsh Consultancies. Can I help you. Me: Yes, I've got my computer in front of me and I have this program and it say's that if I like it I'm to send you $10, I'd like to confirm your address and ask how I can send you the money? Sec.: I'm sorry I don't really know what you're talking about! Would you like me to pass you on to someone who might be able to help you? Me: Look, I'm phoning from England and this call is costing me an awful lot of money, I just want to know how to send you the money! (I'm a poor Student!) Sec.: Is that Craig? (see what I mean) Me: Hu? Sec.: I'll pass you onto the Managing Director! The conversation I then had explained that the Managing Directors brother, called Craig, was living in England and was expected to call that day!?!?!?!?! Can you imagine, someone 3000 miles away saying 'Is that Craig' when you hadn't told her your name, and it was!!! I spent the next hour wandering around the house going "Wowwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!" Anyway, that was the wrong number and I don't have the program any more because I now run AU/X 1.1.1 and rarely use my mac as a mac, BUT when I did use it Windows was really good. You simply select the window from the automatically updated list from the menu bar and it brought that one to the front of the screen. E-mail me if you can't find it on any bill-board over there and I'll get it for you from Lancaster! If you do get it, don't forget to give the guy his 10 bucks!?!?!
