We can't tell iswitchb users that ido makes iswitchb obsolete, since ido does a lot more and maybe they don't want all that extra functionality (and I'm not sure to what extend ido can be configured to behave like iswitchb does). I assume that if they're still using iswitchb by now, it's because they indeed don't want ido. Stefan
