While everything you say is true, I think it's too purist. Sure, folks like me and Matt will eventually learn to be VERY careful when we place CDs in our CDROM drive trays, but at the cost of how many CDs? I've already suggested privately to Soren that this behaviour be conditional on a sysctl, with the default behaviour being to NOT close the drive tray automatically. Soren likes the idea but has more important things to work on right now. Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
