Hi, I've been working on one of the machines that you guys
have loaded the new Athena release 7.6.
I found that the help menu (rel76:system) has a bug. I was
unable to call up the last option on the startup menu. I forgot
what it was , but it is the last option on the first menu
screen, right after stuff on programming.
Also, you guys have taken away the X symbol that normally
shows up when the terminal has gone idle for a certain period
of time. With this new release, it just goes blank whenever
that time is up. I peronally don't think that's a good feature.
1. It's hard to tell form a distance whether the terminal is
taken by someone already or not.
2. It makes me feel that the world has stopped rotating all
of a sudden even when I'm just sitting in front on it.
I personally feel that this is psychologically distracting.
There could be a good reason for you guys to choose to do that
but this is just my opinion from my own selfish little mind. I'm
glad it was heard.
Well, that's it for now. Thank you.
Christine Ng
P.S. Where on the Dash bar does it tell you the clock format ?
