Nifty...that speeds up loading (fractionally).

Cool...I'm still deciding whether I like what I've got there.

On a side note, isn't it interesting how more and more
software designers are being sure to add "customizable
features" to their products...I can totally redesign
WordPerfect's toolbar, I can mess with my mailer's
replying features, I can have "Pigs In Space" and
"Star Wars" all over my desktop, etc. We seem to be
obsessed with protecting our individuality in the face
of generically stylized Windows programs. Or maybe
it's a response to the impersonality of Internet
communications. Instead of a tattoo or high-heeled
boots, we give ourselves a nick, and append signature
files. It's a curious phenomenon.

P.S. This was originally on iTribe, but I posted it here
because it's OT. Is that sort of cross-pollination okay?
