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).
