Thanks for pics. The OS X's prefs are about as good as it gets. A handful of 
top 'levels', everything shown on the first page with everything just grouped 
by category (no yucky trees and such), the panels don't open in a new window 
(which should keep Aaron happy), and once you are in a panel one click up the 
top takes you back to categories. Very simple.
