Hey, you cat blame that second bug on ShowPic. In the sense that that's a bug,
it's the Finder's fault. It will happen with any DA that has you switch disks,
(well, most of them) as well as CDA's, whatever. If you have 2 3.5" drives,
you can eve fool the Finder. Boot the computer with a system disk in one drive
and some other disk in the other. The second disk should be set up so that
several windows open automagically. As SOON as the fFinder stars reading from
the second disk, pop the first one out (the system disk) and stick in a third.
The Finder doesn't see this disk--you have to eject it and reinsert it to get
it to show up on the desktop...
