Yes, but I'm not arguing against that point at all. :) I'm with you on
this one--to a point. Too much whitespace can be bad. Too little can
be bad. The right amount can be bad if it's in the wrong places. 

Properly used, in the right places, it can make all the difference in
the world. 

Besides, there's LOTSA reasons Win 3.x apps look like crap. :)
