not as useless as your assessment of its usefulness
Authored by: sn00py on Jan 27, '04 11:15:56PM

I think, giving him benefit of doubt, the thing he meant was useless was merely the act of zooming out really fast when pressing command-option-8, not the zooming feature as a whole.

good point, i hadn't considered he may have only been talking abou the really-fast zooming out. maybe he reads these comments and can clarify for us what he meant and how strongly he feels the way he does, heh

I am the submitter of this hint, and using this hint to get the zoom to be unstuck is useful, but the quick zoom out effect is useless. I can't imagine a time where anyone would have to zoom out really quickly. Sorry for the ambiguity! I'm usually much more precise in my speech.

heh, i guess the ending effect is useless, but why does there need to be a usefulness assigned to it, considering you're just turning something off. whether by turning zoom off either makes the screen fully zoomed out instaltly, or just zooms out really quickly, either way, the desired outcome is achieved, and that's what's important.

anyway sorry to jump the gun there and attack your 'useless' comment (no pun intended).
