     All in all, the Amiga is a wonderful machine and I probably wouldn't
choose another computer.  However, there are always little things
with any system that are utterly annoying.  The Amiga is no exception.
     In 1.0-1.3 versions of Workbench (don't know about 2.0), if you wrote
to a disk with an error, a Read/Write error requester popped up asking you
to Cancel or Retry.  Here's the gripe : EVEN IF YOU PRESS CANCEL, Why does
the OS insist on continuing the operation, nearly always resulting in
ANOTHER Read/Write error requester.  I have tried to copy files from a bad
disk only to spend 5 minutes pressing Cancel on the Read/Write error
requesters before FINALLY the system got the hint and stopped the copying
process.  Why does the system do this?  Also, is this problem fixed in
the current beta-versions of 2.0?  If not, is it going to be fixed?
