I personally still prefer the Mac idea in concept, although I realize that
there's major problems in practice with implementing it on a multitasking
system. Yes, people *should* be trained, but no, in many cases they aren't (I
see lot's of idiot user's at work). By the way, if you know a not very well
documented trick (Commodore does not have a monopoly on cruddy
documentation), paperclipping your Mac is a very rare requirement; if you
still use Macs and run into such a crash, try holding down the mouse button
when you turn on or reset the machine.
The *biggest* problem as I see it with the situation of ejecting too early on
the Amiga is this business of remembering to WAIT after the light first goes
out until it blinks again (I assume that's trackdisk writing its buffers
out).
