One of the things I really want to play around with in Mac OS X is AppleScript. Mike Wendland provides a link to a bunch of AppleScripts that work with Safari. I am sure the one that I will use the most is the script that maximizes all Safari windows to the full size of the screen. One of the things that irritates me about Mac OS X is that it doesn't really have such a maximize function like Windows. Instead the "green button" opens a window to the largest size you ever had. So if you only ever opened a window to 6" x 6" that will be the maximum size unless you make the window larger. I suppose there is irony in my irritation. In reality I don't use "windows" I use screens, and toggle (Alt-Tab or Command-Tab) through them. Microsoft Windows' maximize button makes this easy enough that I suspect many people are like me and don't really use windows in Windows. Perhaps it should be called Microsoft Screens XP? 12:04:48 PM
