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.
