     Another "BOO HISS" on that one.  I place the principal application(s) of
a disk directly on the desktop - where else do they logically go?  Gosh, just
imagine, the way they want to do it, if I insert my MacWrite disk I won't even
SEE MacWrite!  Until I double-click the mouse on their disk, anyway.  Do you
suppose they're getting a heavy kickback on replacement mouse switch replace-
ments? :-)
