I'll just add a few words on my Ph. D. (Philosophy of Dock, of course):

- Placement: bottom. Occ. left or right, but bottom works best for me. Visibility: visible, but when working in design apps, or occ. when it just gets on my nerve, I'll hide the thing. Hacks: ClearDock, to reduce opacity of the Dock background by about 10%.

- Current range of apps, pretty solid, though changes slightly every so often. Mozilla is about to go, I think (Chimera is now just clearly better).

Grouped (generally) by use and category: E-mail & web / design / text & writing / system.

- Apps triangle on the Dock's right-hand side is a folder of aliases for apps used fairly often but not perhaps on a everyday basis. Grouped by category - Design, Internet, System, etc. In this folder is also a alias to my bona fide Applications folder, if I feel the need to tunnel throug everything instead of using Column view.

- The folder to the right is just an alias for Documents. Don't care for the official Documents icon; haven't bothered to hack it using CandyBar or equiv. methods yet.

- Pile of papers to the right is a folder for a collection of some often accessed documents (to-do list, phone numbers, etc).

Other often-used apps like iCal, OmniOutliner, and Address Book are launched by hot keys. They could almost go in the Dock, but they're not open long usually, and I prefer to keep things clean.

More than you needed to know?

How do I post a picture? If I click on the insert image button, nothing happens. I've tried with both IE and Chimera. Am I doing something wrong?

type "[ img ]http://address of your image[/ img ]" in the message, except remove the spaces within the brackets.

I love having my Dock at the upper-right corner of the screen. It just makes more sense there, IMO.

Always proofread to check if you any words out.

By the way; where did those Dock dividers come from? Those'd come in handy.

Thanks for the help.

Okay, here's mine. It's pretty boring but it's decorated for the holidays
