Re: Red SAVE Button

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

This sort of thing is usually indicative of designers trying to silk 
purse a sow's ear.  My immediate reaction is to wonder what basic 
funtional faults are being masked by the attempt to get a gee-whiz 
reaction from the kind of user who thinks it's cool to devote system 
resources that could be better used to run apps to changing OS themes.
