I'd change the link if I were you SH - Technically, the link as it is now is a DLL.

If it has a download page, I'd change it to link to that. That, and I'd prefer to check out the site anyway before I d/l :D

Greg Dean, the artist of Real Life Comics (http://www.reallifecomics.com/) was talking about Object Dock on his site a week or so ago.
For some reason he&#39;s been Mac-afying all his Windows PCs.

I&#39;d like an impartial review of O.D. before I dl it...

-Apart from the animated icons is it any better than the Windows Quicklaunch bar?
-Is it a resource hog?
-Does it cause problems running with games or resource intensive applications?
