Guys - the problem is that Stuffit software is stupid and wants your
preferences file - you have probably run the software before and created a 
preference file on a different disk.  Stuffit tends to be annoying and not 
want to create a new file.  However, if you continually hit cancel (Command-.)
enough times it should ask you if you would like to create a new preferences
file somewhere.  Make sure you have no floppies in, and create a preferences 
file on the same drive where you run stuffit from.  This should eliminate the
problem.
