HI Guys!

Must have learnt about the 'New' Drag-n-Drop feature Gmail has introduced for attachments?

If not, follow this link:::::

http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/drag-and-drop-attachments-onto-messages.html

Now the point is, what's the worth of this? How many of us split our Screen to two halves?In fact, isn't adjusting the 2 screens to occupy half PORTION & then drag-n-drop(ing) the attachment would become more tedious?!

I believe, 99.9% of users WORK on a single active screen while other open apps. remain DORMANT in the Taskbar?!

What's your take? Quote from: Saurabhdua on April 16, 2010, 12:27:35 AM

I believe you have no idea what your talking about. When did you become a usability expert? Hi BC!

How many 'Active' screens do you keep open at a single instance?

& SECONDLY,Why have you turn into a 'Scotty' & after me to shoo me away? ;Beware, I have a BIG STICK in my hand!
