I forgot to mention that when the files finish copying to the external drive, there'll be an odd mechanical noise. This is supposed to be cute. Scared me to death the first time I heard it, since it's so mechanical. I don't know what it's supposed to represent. Just ignore it.


On my first Apple (a IIGS), I had a tiny program that changed the wastebasket to a mushroom cloud, with associated explosive sound, when I emptied the trash. I never figured out how to carry it into the Mac universe.
