Some refinements

Happy New Year-

For one I do not want a change in the way Omni softwares utilize the 
Cocoa framework and foundation panels. There have been so few Cocoa 
products that the learning curve or the whatever it is curve that makes 
a software interface familiar and mmm... transparent, second nature has 
been longer than I hoped.

Managing the panels in all Cocoa applications is not yet comfortable. 
But to change would not be helpful. Using the Developer applications has 
given me enough enough time with Cocoa interface to see that it will be 
a very intuitive presentation. 17 years with one set of visual keys, 
screen maps, dialogs, etc. makes it a challenge to start fresh.

Every hour I use Graffle helps.

On another note, Outliner has become so much like Dave 
Winer's/Videotext's More and their predecessors that it is like an old 
glove.
