Agreed it is useable, it's my primary platform now and about the only thing
I use in classic any more is MYOB but every time I come across something
that's slow or not quite right I file it as a bug report...

I'm confused as to why it's so hard to get the backup app's working? What
exactly is it that prevents one from just dragging and dropping the contents
of one disk onto another?

Is it some kind of dependency on pathnames tied to a volume/partition name
or what?

How do traditional Unix's (Unices?) handle backups?
