[QUOTE="Hemmingway, post: 1270810, member: 208371"] Thanks Young Spade, I will keep that program in mind if that itch ever comes back. As I have gotten used to Lion, I have found that the four finger swipe up for mission control allows for incredibly easy and quick switching between programs. Similar to most Linux distros, I can even have multiple desktops and with mission control easily switch between them too; I keep one setup for work/study and one for play. Whenever I want to open a new program, the thumb and three finger pinch opens up the launchpad allowing me to again quickly and easily open a new program. I don't even bother with keeping my dock open at the bottom of my screen and just allow it to hide now. Oddly enough, I don't even desire the fullscreen business anymore either despite it being just a click away in the upper right corner with Lion. Once I learned the gestures and got them down enough to usually get what I am wanting, OS X became even more efficient and easier to use. I will never get tired of the look on my Sister's face as I fly through programs and she is stuck with the clumsy Redmond based interface and a mouse. Even my Mom noticed and is going to be shopping for a MBA. The only wish I have now is that I could get an icon in my top bar from the mail program to let me know when I have new mail, as versatile as it is I have setup my once webmail accounts in there so I never need the websites. I hear you about the money, it will be awhile before I save up enough to replace my desktop, but I am going to eventually get at least an iMac if not a MacPro as soon as possible. I can't say it enough, I LOVE my Mac. :Cool: [/QUOTE]
