Even more fun is making several dozen copies of a disk (say for a workshop)
such that all disks have the same name.  If you do this with the same kind of
approach your user followed, you end up with 20-some disk icons, all with the
same name.

Imagine my joy when the Finder suddenly asked me to insert the disk named
"workshop"...and I had to figure out which of the 20+ copies of 'workshop' it
wanted!  Ack!
