Well, no shit it can't be accessed; but if I want to put something from another floppy onto it, it can be very annoying. Yes, you'd think that the time for the Finder to write out whatever trivial Desktop information it needs to write out would be when the user asks it to eject the disk -- not after the disk has already been ejected. After all, isn't that one reason why standard Apple floppy drives don't have "Eject" buttons -- so that the Finder can have an opportunity to keep Desktop info up to date? Here's hoping that the System Software folks play around with floppies a little more before 7.0.1 is released... :-) -- Steve Baumgarten | "New York... when civilization falls apart, Davis Polk & Wardwell | remember, we were way ahead of you." baumgart@esquire.dpw.com | cmcl2!esquire!baumgart | - David Letterman
