I have always had my dock hidden (automatially) by default. It appears
automatically when I hover. Entourage 2004 has no trouble annoying me with
the bounce.
When I'm working on a deadline, I could cheerfully strangle a programmer
every time that things bounces. Only thing stopping me is that it would
probably take longer than switching back and forth to Entourage.
Also I don't know any programmers.
Also my forearm strength isn't what it was, and I have no equipment.
