Hey, I hadn't heard about Unix AutoFS before, but the network drive system is such a headache-inducing flaw in the current OSX that I'm with Rob Griffiths all the way -- why wasn't it his first-round pick? I mean, his first-round pick of "Advanced Searches in Spotlight" sounds like a fairly slight improvement on finding files in the Finder.
Marks off for being "devilishly handsome", because that just sounds wrong in conjunction with a discussion of an "obscure technology related to networked volumes."

Does iChat Screen sharing work with AIM Pro accounts?

All three of us need to join AA (AutoFS Anonymous). AutoFS was my first pick, with Time Machine a close second.

Where is Dan Moren's picks? Or was he put off that toast making didn't make the feature cut for yet another Mac OS?

I'm wondering how far you are going to take this.
You could have one game per week matching one editor's picks against another's and let the readers decide. After four games, you could match the winners... And then comes the CHAMPIONSHIP!
I know, I know, it's much easier to think of things for you to do than for you to do them.
I had a lot of fun with these articles, thanks.

Don't think more than one editor isn't trying to devise a point system for what you describe.
Rob Griffiths built a dynamic spreadsheet that he could update once a feature was off the board so that he had to the minute information during the draft, for heaven's sake. I fear he's not well.

Rob, the whole draft idea and especially your analysis were hilarious! I know some of your readers may not follow sports or play Fantasy Football, but for those of us that do, it was a welcome diversion and SPOT ON!

Do tell... Since there's always one under-informed doofus in every draft, which editor was the first one to select a feature that didn't make the final build? (To uproarious laughter from the rest of the staff.) Oh wait, that only happened in the Vista draft. Never mind. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
