[AccessD] Ramblings of a nutcase

Hi Gustav:

You are such a young brat. ;-) 

Maybe us old guys will all be dead before Windows 7 is finally retired and then you can have it all your own way. As for me, I will just wander off and use Linux until I see something better. :-)

Hi Jim

That's bad news because the rocking chair may wear out before support runs out for Win7, and a new modern (Metro?) rocking chair will have all sorts of misbehaving like a plastic seat, no arm rests, and bad feet support - it may not even be able to rock!

Hi John:

It seems that Windows 7 may be around a little longer...

OK thanks for the response.  So do the shrunken screen images help you differentiate between the instances?  Is it an icon sized image or large enough to actually see what it represents?

Are they stacked such that I can tell that they are open and how many?  Is there a little X off to the right allowing me to close each one as I desire?

I truly never got there in my attempts to use Windows 8.  I am dead certain that there was no task bar in windows 8.0.  I will no doubt be back in the next year or two, when or if MS comes to their senses and decides that what I like matters too.  It turns out that Windows 7 support drops in 2020 so I have a loooooong time to hold out if I need to.  Hell, by then they will be off on a new jag, Windows 8 long forgotten.
