Wasn't it kind of easier to close multiple tabs by just clicking the same button at the same location? I think so. Though, I remember it wasn't that logic to have the button placed far out to the right (it was there it was placed right?), perhaps that's why they now have a close button on each tab just as IE7+, Safari and Chrome?

However, the close button on EVERY tab on EVERY application is a bit annoying when you inevitably click it once in a while. I think there is something to be said for the way Firefox 1.0 handled it with a single close-tab button over to the right. And since I apparently have nothing else to do in the middle of the night I'd like to point to some interesting resources. For remote filesystem access I love MacFUSE + sshfs at: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ And Apple have comprehensiv guidelines for application development (that even Apple don't follow) at: http://bit.ly/8r7Frj I live by the keyboard so this does not effect me much.
