Nope that's merely psychological quirk, you think it is slower, it's
actually faster, and when using Windows and other GUIs with menus tied
to window bars it takes longer to find the menu than it does if the
menu
is fixed.


.. not forgetting the dock.


On windows what I want is in icons on the screen, and n a mac its in
the dock. No difference really.

The point of the dock is not to need to have icons cluttering the screen.


Huh? The dock IS icons cluttering the screen. They just happen to be at
the bottom, thats all.

Or up the right, depending..


If I need something else in either case I have to use a finder type tool.

No..the mouse movement up to the extreme screen top s a pain, as is
finding a subwindow buried behind other windows.

Not needed. Dashboard and Expose.

I turned off dashboard. It was chewing 30% of the CPU and was a complete
PITA.
