Dragthing mac mac#
Much as I love my little Mac mini I am not so admiring of the Heroes of Cupertino that I feel it's naughty to even say 'Apple engineers/marketing don't have the brainpower' when I think of how we are (well, at very least I am) left with windows that can only be resized from one point, the clumsy message box option switching (using tab and spacebar (mostly) when cursor keys and Enter would do the job more intuitively), the slavish clinging to a one-button mouse, which led them to the patchy implementation of the really useful (read, more productive) right-click context menus. Not wishing to let two lines of text come between us otherwise happy Maccers, I will explain that Windows users have had the benefit of the attention of the acclaimed Stardock people for years (well, since S'dock realised that OS/2 was not the way the future of computing was moving) with their multiple docks.
It worked (thanks VTracy), although the utility offered (DockSwitch) died when 10.4 came. Thanks to all you swift responders! After I saw a previous poster fail to get a response after 2 years to a similar but well-mannered query I thought I had to phrase mine differently get some attention - and maybe even a bit of helpful advice. Much like walking into a job interview and saying to the boss, "Your current crop of employees are all idiots, and I can do the job much better than them." Think you'd get the job? How far would that interview go? While "fanboys" have a bad connotation attached to them, they're out there, and may not be as helpful if you start off your request in the form of an insult to either them or the people they respect (i.e., Apple engineers/programmers). It's easier to get friendly support if you don't insult people in the process. I hardly think it's a technical issue preventing them from implementing multiple docks. As if Apple engineers were a bunch of monkeys, hammering away at a keyboard, able to create (arguably) the coolest IDE (Xcode) in existence, the most popular music store around, the easiest home-movie creation software, one of the stablest operating systems, the neatest hardware with the most resale value, yet the idea of multiple docks eludes them.
