I hope that you aren't suggesting that the new finder should be designed
by the committee of net.newsers.  If apple botches up the finder, everyone
will buy Jackintoshes and Apple knows this.  No vender in his right mind 
is going to open up a forum which openly encourages people to shoot arrows
at a new product before it is on the market.  Apple has solicited suggestions
and we should respect that openness and not put them on the defensive
because they want to be responsive to their customers problems.
If Apple can speed up the finder and put it in ROM so we can have a little
space left in our discs, I'm sure everyone will jump for joy.  However,
I have a feeling that Apples main concerns are for the 1986 product year
since 1985 was really a rather bleak year for new products and sales.
