[maxmsp] Re: max 5 new patcher preferences, grid and more

After working pretty intensely with Max 5 for the last two weeks, I am
very happy with the grid mode. I've set the grid to 5 pixels, which
allows quite a bit of flexibility, while still obviously maintaining a
grid. I've never had to turn the grid off.

I have noticed that imported patcher's objects (Max 4 patches) aren't
on the grid, and I have to use the inspector to manually change their
location. In other words, if they appear at horizontal 72, the grid
will align them at 72 + 5, 72 + 10, etc.

The only problem I've had is using objects that may have multiple
outlets (i.e. gate 12) - in such cases, I can't seem to get the patch
cords to align perfectly with the objects below.
