  1) I agree that apple putting in the erase dialog was a good move.

  2) One other area where the finder doesn't follow the Apple Guide Lines is
     where you are suppose to scroll to the "active" area of a document if it
     is off screen.  Doesn't it bother anyone that you can create a new folder
     and then spend years looking for it because the finder won't scroll to
     where it is when you start to type it's new name?

  3) This isn't a flame for Andy, it's just an observation that his comment
     caused me to think about.
