    My 2 cents.

    Only 2 Amiga programs I can think of have useful hard disk requestors.

    One is Calligrapher, the other is Professional Page.
     
    (There are probably more, these just happen to stick out in my mind now)

    Why do I say this? Simple. Not everybody has dh0: and dh1: as partition
names. This will become even more a problem as people upgrade to 1.3 and
start partitioning their drives.

    What I like about these requestors is the fact that ALL 7 of my hard
disk partitions are available to me using only the mouse.

    Otherwise, I would have type in the particular partition name just to
get going.

    Why have a mouse if I have to type. Why even have a requestor?

    Nuff said?
