I am with you there Paul. I have tried it and do not like it. It is one
thing to try to remove a disk, realize you for got to unmount it, feel
foolish, then unmount it , curse a little and proceed on and it is
another thing to have a disk in the cdrom and be unable to remove it
because of some auto mount provision and the set there and watch it
reformat your hard drive. Thanks but no thanks to this automatic
control.
