I'm not disagreeing, but if you think about it even on a 30" Cinema
Display
the Menu starts on the LEFT, not in the middle:-)
I've been trying to find where I got that conception, but haven't been
able
to put my finger on it - I know I didn't make it up:-) I know I've made
reference to it several times & neither Jim G nor JE have taken the
op****tunity to contradict me. Perhaps it was something that came up at the
Summit - but obviously not in general discussion or I'm certain you'd
recall
it as well [or at least have it contained in those impeccable notes:-)].
