Maximized windows? In GUI environments, I generally arrange windows
such that I can see the useful areas of 4 or 5 windows at once. I only
use maximized windows when I'm using a computer to play movies or games,
since modern life requires multitasking and multiprocessing. Then
again, YMMV and EPID.
