This is a really good point!  It's also one of the reasons why I like usi=
ng SeaMonkey so much.  If I happen to change my OS or wish to work on ano=
ther of my netbooks for a while, I just copy my .mozilla/seamonkey folder=
 over to the new system and all is there, just as I left it.  E-mails, bo=
okmarks, add-ons and extensions, browser configurations all just follow m=
e and I don't have to re-configure a single element.

Yes, I really like the clean screen, too.  I also like how you can assign=
 just about any function to a hot-key.
