How do you use the Dock?

1. Somewhere 2. Always 3. What's organization? 4. System preferences, don't need 'em 5. Only when I am in the mood. 6. Usually none.

1. Top Left 2. Hidden 3. Random Chaos Baby! 4. HP Director 5. Only to show off 6. No magnification I use DragThing for my application-launching needs, I find the dock too static.

1. Botton 2. Hidden 3. Most used are grouped together, others by general by type. 4. Sherlock. 5. No genie. 6. No magnification.

1. Bottom Centre 2. Never Hidden 3. Internet to the left, games to the right, stuff in the middle 4. Sherlock 5. Yes love it 6. Just so it's barely noticable

1. Bottom Centre 2. Yes 3. rough groupings, with a bit of randomness thrown in. 4. iMovie, iphoto plus afew other programs I haven't got around to removing 5. Yes 6. Yes, so I can see which icon is which. I have the icons on smallest and they still overflow both sides of the screen. Also, magnification looks cool

1. Unfortuntely do not use OSX (am I the last 9 user). 2. Have the first of the Powerbook Titanium laptops that were issued with System 9. 3. Have been a Machead since the 80's (remember when dual floppies were cutting edge). 4. Powerbook has died after 4 years ... I was not aware that Macs actually failed. 5. Apologies that this has nothing to do with the blog ... it had stalled though.

1. Where: Bottom Center 2. Hidden (Y/N)? Only if I'm using Final Cut or other Pro apps 3. Organize: L to R -- Internet Apps (Mail, Safari, NewsFire) Tools: Terminal, iCal. Chat: Proteus, iChat, then iTunes, System Preferences. 4. What is the one program...System Preferences could go since LaunchBar takes me right to the preference I need. 5. genie effect? Yup 6. Magnification? Yes. Turned on just a hair above the dock size, so the icons don't magnify, so much as step out of the crowd. I am ADDICTED to this magnification setting and it feels strange to use any Mac with any other setting. No-magnification docks are boring, full magnification docks are annoying.

1. Left 2. Not hidden 3. Order is mostly random: although I keep my big three internet applications at the top (Mail, Safari, NetNewsWire) 4. N/A 5. Genie effect on, although I mostly just keep everything open and use Expose to manage windows 6. No magnification, I hate it. Like others, I use LaunchBar to start apps. I use the dock primarily to manage applications (right clicking to "get mail", for example) and to switch between apps.

1. Left, and shrunk as small as possible to take up the least amount of space. 2. no. Tried it and found it aggravating, since it appeared anyhow when the mouse moved to that part of the screen. 3.Sort of organized: Internet, email, ftp, connection stuff on top, viewers like EyeTv, VLC, Real Player and DVD/video apps, audio, Printers, scanners and image editing/managing apps, games, wp, text and database apps, utilities and troubleshooting. Also keep an alias to my Application folder there for quicker access to seldom used apps. 4. hmm. GarageBand. Looks like fun but I've never used it yet. 5.No, why waste cycles? 6.Big enough to read, since I keep the size of the Dock/icons at minimum.

1. Bottom Center, shrunk almost entirely to smallest. 2. Not Hidden. 3. Left - Apps I use all the time, Middle - development related apps, right - anything else that's launched. All seperated by some little seperators. 4. Probably Safari. I use FireFox 99% of the time. Outside of that, I only have stuff in my dock that I really want to have at my fingertips. Launchbar for everything else. 5. None
