This is also my preference for almost everything. With most apps I keep the
'home' window pinned for all screens and spread the others across all four. It
makes for a very uncluttered workplace with no distractions and everything in
context. Whoever thought that a tabbed filer window was a good idea can't make
much use of them :(

As I've said elsewhere, another thing that puts me off is this obsession with
shades of ... black! I'm reminded of Zaphod Beebelbrox's complaint about the
Heart of Gold ship's computer. "It's a black computer with a black screen and
black text on it. I can't even tell if it's working because it has a black
light."

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
