I've actually lost screen real-estate (when the bar moved to the bottom.) I've never had to do left-right scrolling unless I turned my font up to 14+ in point size. Yet instead of saying "we hear you and let us check with other users" I'm getting what to me sounds like "shut-up we know what you really need". Originally all I wanted to know was why the changes were made. I didn't ask for arguments and put downs. I wanted to know why since this tool is so integral to why I own an n800/770 (both) in the first place. If I wanted "shut-up and like it" I'd own a mobile win device. I apologize if my questions annoy you in any way. James
