I don't have an attitude, and don't normally flame. But I really get irked
when I see the same old "Apple screwed us Apple II users" ad nauseum. Since
I'm not into flames, I normally make a habit of not posting followups to 
Nathan Mates' articles. That post combined the same old tired BS with blatant
misinformation so I broke that rule for once. As for the "duh" everyone is
reacting to so, it just seemed patently obvious that only finder style apps
would have any reason to look for a disk insertion in a 3.5 floppy drive.

I don't get into flaming so don't sweat it. I can take a little advice every
so often, as can just about everybody. Now back to a kinder, gentler style
which is my normal way.
