Due to the placement of screens and the eye's tendency to scan top-to-bottom, pixels at the top of the screen are perceived as being more prominent than those at the bottom. So even though no more space is being taken, the space that *is* used is now more valuable space... so the user does see a difference. Cheers, -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
