I thought we agreed that we'd change it to be resizable to a 3.1 inch window
if there was a lot of interest in that. Then when everyone got used to that,
we'd make a 3.2 inch window available. We'd time these carefully at six month
intervals so as not to alarm anyone.
Then by 2010 we'd have something like a 4.4 inch window available.
"A 4.4 inch window should be enough for anyone."
And you can quote me on that.
