And then when you try to disconnect (in preferences) from that server
(that you've never managed to connect to, really) it won't let you,
and insists that you "close open files and folders first".
Furthermore, I attempted to use the preferences panel to change my
password on the server, and managed to crash the Mac. I know it's not
hard to crash a Mac, but by remote control??? And the result was so
bad that I still haven't managed to get the Mac to reboot.
This Apppletalk stuff is a "Kill App" all right....... :-(
