-Is there really a problem with keeping the contents of my hard disk in folders
-on the desktop?  I haven't noticed one, but several people claim that it screws
-up the desktop file and makes for crashes and Finder slow downs.  I hope not,
-because it seems to be a much faster way of getting to folders, particularly in
-MultiFinder.

The only problem I've heard about is that diskette files left on the
desktop won't get copied when doing a diskette to diskette copy. Don't
know if this has been fixed in the latest 6.0 release.
