Hello again,

Oh ok, maybe i'll take a look around the web for some more
screen shots.  
One of these days i might have to break down and get XP i guess.
I was trying to wait out MS this time until the 'next' Windows
version comes out, but i really like XP's ability to catch
improper memory access and stuff like that.  With my beta and
other Win98 versions many mem allocation or access errors go
unnoticed, only to crash completely in 2000 or XP.

I'd like to see more of these controls just to get an idea
what they look like.
So far, im not sure i like the 'gigantic' shadow effect either,
because it seems to obscure more of the window beneath, which i
often like to see also.

Take care for now,
Al
