>2) Put Back is gone.  I never use it, but some people did.
I never met anyone who used it. I remember hearing that Apple did some
checking around, and they never found anyone who used it, either. Anyone
out there use it? Do you miss it? Mail to me and I"ll summarize...

This is actually documented in the Font/DA mover. If you try to delete all
of the DA's, it will let you know that the system dies if you try it and
force you to leave on in (only for files named 'system'). Not a bug, just
makes handling DA's easier since there isn't a null case, and I can't think
of much reason why, with their utility, you wouldn't want at least one. I
guess apple thinks that way, too...

I find that I always leave in the 'idle' DA written by Larry rosentein.
That way, if I leave the machine for any length of time, I can blank the
screen, and it only takes up a K or so.

The offices were very nice, and the clients were only raping the land, and
then, of course, there was the money...
