Summary: 


	OK, so the writers of the finder insist that they won't put up
	with the reason "I put things on the desktop all the time".  Well,
	I know of another reason to take away this feature:

	I thought that one of the nice things about the mouse on the Mac is
	its ability to manipulate windows (for normal commands, I still
	prefer keys, guys.  The mouse is a terrible inconvenience on that.
	That's why I like to make sure that there is a key associated
	with almost everything on the menu bar, even if it is not a command
	key!)  Well, if they don't allow us to use the desktop, just think
	how hard it could be sometimes to move an item from one folder
	to another!  Suppose you have two overlapping folders, and they
	are both open, and one folder completely obscures the other.  Now,
	you want to move an item from the front window into the back
	window.  Simple now:  move the item to the desktop, close the
	front window, and finally put it in the back window, which is now
	exposed.  If you didn't have the features, you would have to move
	windows around!

	So there!
