Thanks, but after spending four years at Microsoft, getting paid to  
pick the cooties off of Microsoft apps  -- and incidentally, wielding  
a fully-loaded PowerBook as my primary grooming implement -- it's not  
very hard to come up with good descriptions for pre-Vista Microsoft  
designs **.

The problem is getting those designs to stay the hell out of my  
nightmares.

Nevertheless, you're welcome to embrace and extend my description in  
any way you see fit.

	** 	Post-Vista, the recipe is the same, but you finish up by  
encasing the UI paste in a
		plastic lunch tray. Then you rent out the resulting object for  
$12.99/month.
