Actually, I don't think I ever had a problem with dragging the diskette icon to the
trash to eject it - that's just what you did in Mac OS, and it was easy, and everyone knew how to do it. What I objected to was the inability to
manually eject the diskette by means of a button IN THE
HARDWARE. I found the fact that I needed to go through
software to perform the physical act of removing the diskette from the drive
esthetically offensive. That's all there was to it. It sounds like there was a perfectly
good reason for this system, but I found it
loathsome.
Almost as loathsome as the fact that Win95 on my work machine crashes every single fscking day and I'm too cowardly to reinstall it.
semprini: I didn't say that ejecting the floppy was "hard", I said it was
ugly. Your
Sparc system is
ugly too, if it does it the same way. But in both cases there's a good reason for it being that way.
