No, I am certainly not kidding. Let's say, for example, that you're working on a project on your Mac using a copy of Word on the fileserver. Someone accidentally kicks an AppleTalk connector apart between you and the fileserver -- or the server crashes. The way AppleShare works now, your Mac will crash and you'll lose the work you're doing on your project. If the Mac locked up until it could reach the server again, you wouldn't lose any work. Don't feel like waiting? Hit the interrupt key, or, as someone else suggested, put an "Abort" button in the dialog. It all makes sense to me. When making suggestions for a 45,000-reader newsgroup, I don't kid. -greg +----------------------------------------------------+ Greg Brail Internet: gjb@cs.brown.edu BITNET: gjb@browncs.bitnet UUCP: ..uunet!brunix!gjb Home: (401)863-6284
