Don– *I* did not pull the disk out–a beginner did. So much for user friendly, eh? Why do you think the Mac is a success? I don't want to keep the system occupied while disk access goes on, but since there is no reason ever to eject a disk being written to, then why should disks be ejectable under those conditions. Hell, you sound like the guys in Detroit speaking to Nader. Why do we need seatbelts and safe cars. Drivers have to take some responsibility, etc. etc. Of course they do, but failsafe systems are preferable, especially in a business environment where more than one person uses a machine or even the same disk. (Ask a dealer how many new users have made this mistake.) // Jim
