I could do without the beastie image, and thus maybe have a much shorter menu. And I think the timer would work better at the top, so that the *first* thing you read is how to pause the timer. But I liked the idea of the menu there, with a few common options. I even listed that as "one of the nice things added to 5.3" (compared to 4.x- series) at some recent presentations... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
