Sorry, but it is entirely possible that a significant number of Mac
users simply don't know that the gate is even supposed to move under
use.  The Mac is billed as the ultimate in user friendly interfaces,
supposidly operable by people of all ages and skill levels.  If such
a naive user inserted a sabotaged disk like this into one of their
drives and damaged it, I think they could make a good case for charging
the company for any necessary repairs.
