To that, I'd add:

	3. If you eject your system disk and put in a backup data
	disk to duplicate some files, it will stop and ask you to
	put the system disk back in so it can give you the dialog
	box that asks you if you're sure you want to duplicate over
	the same file.  With the previous system, you don't need to
	swap the backup disk for the system disk, then swap back,
	to get the warning dialog box.
