Wow... that's actually pretty surprising. I have never seen an instance of the Mac accessing files on unmounted drives (hard drives/partitions that is... remote AppleShare volumes are a different issue, and those can spontaniously remount when a file from it is accessed). But hey... there is a first for everything! >Since then, I have relied on nothing less than an "air barrier" which >is to say being assured there is no possible way a connection can be >made from the computer to the file or application.

Yup... the ol' "you can't get what ain't there" method. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
