    nope, i assumed that was put in there with the icon packager component of object desktop.

    don't you think it's strange that the office icons seem slightly rounded at the corners, when an os that ran windows apps natively should surely use the application provided icons.

    AND THERE'S A *WINDOWS* EXPLORER ICON IN THE START MENU FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

    the only points i can think of that are relevent are:

    1. use of dummy files to pad the disk out. this is so the 'real' data is stored on the outside of the cdr, where the drive can read it faster.

    2. turning up the intensity of the laser so that it can read cd-rws.
