Wow,
That's some over-reaction, mixture! For the life of me I cannot see the "badly thought out FUD" in my post.
I simply agreed with another poster that it was an odd thing to have to drag a removable drive to the trash can to eject it. Conceptually bizarre, to my mind.
Note that I said it was one of the FEW things that seemed wrong to me. I have great respect for Apple and the Mac.
I was also surprised / interested that it was still part of the Mac way, some 15 years after I first came across it - hence the comment about consistency. Since I have very little to do with Macs these days, I accepted what bnt said about ejecting removable devices in OS X - if there are other ways to achieve the objective that's great, I'm pleased to hear it.
I'm not for or against either Macs or PCs, never have been. I admit that I am much more familiar with PCs these days, but I don't hold anything against the Mac or Apple, or their users.
