for new hardware<BR>> purchases. The start menu in Win7 has a nice
feature where individual<BR>> apps have their own recent document
lists.<BR>><BR>> I haven't played around too much with the taskbar

Win7 anyway.<BR>><BR>> I purchased a macbook pro the other week. That

macOS after using windows<BR>> for a long time is fibbing :-). It feels
horribly limiting and this<BR>> one menu bar for all applications is just
dumb.<BR>><BR>> Got Lazarus up and running (doubt I'll really use it
though) as well<BR>> as XCode for doing some iphone development (the
reason i got it).<BR>>
