I was just looking at Safari and noticed that although the view for the

So Apple can't even be consistent with this in the same application.

Uhhh... folks, you're kidding, right? What does it matter which cell is colored first? I mean, it's a scrolling list, after all, depending on what location you've scrolled it to, a different row will be at the top.

I think as long as the rows _do_ alternate colors, thus making it easier to tell them apart, we really shouldn't worry any more.

I'm a user interface fanatic myself, but I think such minutiae are only important when it comes to printing such tables without a scrollbar in the context of a page on paper (think XPress or Indesign).
