Agreed - and jumping on the 'font' bandwagon.....  I don't know whether this
is a feature or some kind of fault with my system - but it's always annoyed
me the way menu items / list text / tab text etc seems to be kinda the
"wrong way around".  In other words, items that *aren't* available are
printed in bold text, whereas items that *are* available get printed in
normal text.  This makes it look like the available items are grayed out
and the unavailable items are the available ones.  Does anyone else
have this problem or is it just me?

John
