Granted; I did not say that we complained the MOST about the prompt, I said MOST of us complained about the prompt: a subtle, but significant difference. I won't try to say what one item was complained of the most, but I'll wager your light going off then coming back on was one of the top two or three; it WAS a significant problem and you are right: we complained a LOT. Many of us still maintain(ed) that if the prompt did not appear until the disk was safe to remove from the drive, most newbies would not have had the problems they did with munged disks. Even the head load light going off then coming back on a few seconds later wouldn't have burned the folks who are used to watching the screen instead of the drive. Rick
