Hmm. I must have had Speed Doubler at some point, because I used "Smart Copy" often. Then over the years, I lost it and miss it! I could not remember that it was once part of Speed Doubler. Is there something out there currently that will do the same thing in OS X (10.5.8, PPC)? Apple seriously needs to add it to the Finder!
