a little thing

Okay, in Mac OS X Jaguar, when you ‘minimize’ something, it shrinks down in a neat-o visual effect, and a miniature version of it sits in the ‘Dock’ at the bottom of the screen. To identify for you what application each mini-window is from (in case you have a lot of windows shrunk down there that look alike, I guess), Mac OS X puts a little icon of the application over the corner of the mini-window. I just noticed that my Dock has a mini-window, which is odd, because I don’t often minimize things. It was the calculator. Here’s what the mini-calculator window looks like:

I assume they put that micro-mini-calculator in the corner so you would know you were looking at a mini-calculator. Tee hee.
