      If that genius got more than two questions right I'd be VERY surprised.

      I think that it's very unfortunate that nathan goes through the trouble of setting these things up for us ,and then someone turns the thread into a circus. On the other hand I suppose that's what clowns do. And hey, don't like it, but I'm starting to get accustomed to it. It's a shame, but I wouldn't be surprised if we have to request patio's assistance once more. 10.9.8.7 etc., etc.

      Thank you everyone who provided feedback.

      one thing though, unrelated to the changes- question #95 of 121 (the one asking what the certain area of the taskbar is in a picture, and the answer required is "systray".

      This is actually somewhat erroneous, as I myself learned rather recently. The "official" name is actually "notification area". I had thought that calling it the "notification area" was in fact the erroneous one, until I was bumbling about through The Old New Thing Blog and came upon his posting on the subject (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2003/09/10/54831.aspx)

      The whole issue is further confused since some official windows SDK documents still call it a system tray, and of course the fact that win95 and 98 had a process called "systray" that seemed related to the notification area.

      You're absolutely correct. I apparently fell into the trap like most people even those at Microsoft with referring to it as the Systray. I've updated this question and also updated the dictionary pages and a few other sections that I apparently incorrectly stated it was the Systray.

      Thanks again
