I like it... but maybe with a different machine. I'm running a g3 350 OC'd to 400 256 MB RAM. When that sucker starts jumping from getting an ICQ message things get a little jumpy. Processor monitor shows spikes up to 3/4 usage.
I'd LOVE to just disable it under ICQ but no other apps.
He's talking about apps jumping when they need your attention, not opening. I think it's pretty cool. If you have your Dock hidden, the icon will jump high enough for you to see it.
If you click on an icon that's jumping up and down, it'll stop. Course, if you're using ICQ or AIM or AOL, it'll just start bouncing again when you get the next message. I find it pretty annoying too, but guess I gotta learn to like it
