  What's on Your Dock?

I prefer to use my dock as both an app switcher and launcher. I created alias filled folders of my favorite apps. I placed the items according to a particular similarity between them. I have folders on the right of the dock such as "Web" , "Communications", "File Sharing", "Multimedia", "Text Apps", "Games", and "Utilities". I also keep a drop folder and a folderaction enabled download folder on the desktop. The foler action categorizes my downloads and places them into dated sub-folders. Pretty cool. I use iCal to open & closecertain scripts and apps at specific times.


By the way, what's wrong with your dock? Mine is great. It's minimalist, efficient, and fast. I use a contextual menu for moving and copying files to various folders.


I used the old popup tabs in OS9 in a similar way...don't miss it a bit.
