Douglas, I guess we just disagree in concept. I have this strange idea that anyone who buys a computer should read the manual that comes with it. Too many people have the idea of "if all else fails, read the manual". With any computer, electronic gizmo, machine, whatever, if things go wrong, and there are warnings about it in the manual, instructions, etc., it is unfair to blame anyone but the user. I certainly wouldn't consider using a new band saw, VCR, computer, toy robot, etc. without reading the docs. ANY computer will mess up a disk if you pull the disk before the write is finished. You don't open up your camera before the film is rewound (and expect the film to be undamaged) — don't pull the disk before the light is out. Since switching to 1.2, when the light goes out — it stays out (at least it does on my 1000 and 2000). Thanks for the info on ejecting Mac disks — I haven't played with one in years. On a multitasking machine, having the computer lock the disks in place is not too bright — hopefully CBM will never consider that option.
