Thanks Jan and Paul for your thoughts on when and why we use "in" a window
vs "on" a window. Those are two explanations I never would have thought of
(and are much more interesting than mine!). It's refreshing to think of a
GUI window as a portal to another world and to see the language as a
connection to the pre-computer world. I do enjoy this list!
