Devil's advocate... (IMHO)
Sorry, I just don't get it.
My view...
Searching for a website in Google while running 27 applications with roughly 80 open windows:
Method A: Move to dock, find web browser in dock, click on browser, click on new tab (don't want to lose what's there), click on Google shortcut, click in data entry box, type search phrase, hit enter. Method B: Try to find an open window of the browser on the screen amidst the clutter, click on it, repeat most of (A). Method C: Click on "G" in menubar, type search phrase, hit enter. There are, of course, many other ways to do this; I've listed only a few. But I think you get the idea -- it's about ease of operation. To me, (C) is far easier and is worth the (minimal, given OS X's nature) risk of any added difficulties. -rob.
Devil's advocate... (IMHO)
Frankly, I don't get it either..... I don't see the difference between clicking on the "G", initiating a search that will oblige the user to open another window for the info harvested anyway, and simply doing a "I'm feelin' lucky" via another tab or open window in the browser....., unless of course, the user is stuck with Internet Exasperator as browser and it crashes with more than one and one-half windows open. I agree that it is best to avoid superfluous running apps as much as possible. The fact is that Mozilla 1.2.1 makes these superfluous little apps look like cacapeepeepoopoo. |
