We are back to me saying OS X is "not ready for prime time." I stopped saying that with version X.3.3, but an ugly X.2 bug has returned to haunt us.
In X.5 if you move files between two volumes and the operation terminates prematurely, you will lose the files. The files obviously won't be on the target volume, but *surprise* they will get removed from your source volume as if the move had succeeded. Bad programming! Even worse quality control. Fortunately, most Mac users copy instead of move their files and probably don't even know the key press that turns a copy into a move. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
