Well my article was posted on the 27th of October. Not that it really matters. Good to see someones reading my blog.

That doesn't let me eject disks, so it's not that great for me. I've sent feedback to Apple about making a stack with all mounted disks so I can eject them without opening the Finder already.

Yeah, it's not the most elegant feature. It's crazy that apple did not make this a standard feature. None of their promotional videos of Leopard did not sport desktop icons. So I was quite supprised to find there was not Volumes stack.

I created my own stack like this a week ago and tried to use it with a blank desktop, but it wasn't that practical so I switched back to having the volumes displayed on the desktop. Stacks definitely has some kinks that need to be worked out.
