Oh... I thought that image shack was just a place to host your images and not the program that allowed you to actually capture the screen image. Thanks for setting me straight.

What I meant by screen real estate was the number of bars you have at the top of your screen. If you count the tabs then that would make five bars of information. Quite a few. My wife has quite a few bars as well but I go for a leaner look. Just curious, mind you. I find it interesting how we all approach this thing of being online differently.

James,
I am not Richard, but there are some possibilities... Richard might have a pretty large screen, which he can afford rows of buttons, or he might have a vertical screen setup, and a few rows of toolbars shouldn't be an issue.

Just some wild guess.

It's possible, Antony. Then again, some people just don't mind using a number of tool bars and that's fine too. I have tried to get rid of most of mine so the menu bar is gone and all that is left is the tool bar and the bookmarks bar and I'd like to get rid of the bookmarks bar too but it's difficult. I know some people use the new tab page and set it up with their favorite places. Others pin their favorite places to the task bar on the bottom and I've thought about that too. It's just that I've used the bookmarks bar so long that I now feel strange without having it there. But all those bars that Richard has ... wow.

Hey Antony and James-

23" monitor.

That's cool, Richard. Mine is 21" and I'm still whining about the real estate lost at the top. BUT... and here's the real point: we're all different. We use our computers differently, we use the internet differently, we use our browsers differently. So what might seem impossible to me might actually be very desirable to you. It just is what it is (hate that expression...LOL). My wife loves to use IE9 and pins her favorites to her task bar. I hate doing this. I have a set of a dozen spots I hit several times during a session online and for me the bookmarks bar works best. She loathes that bar. What can I say? If your loss of monitor space at the top works for you, more power to you.

James-

Just one practical thing here, I am mostly using Chrome, default now since it is assigned to twitter.com/sciencesprings. FF has twitter.com/musicsprings, less of an issue.
