Yep, I know that. however the complete system is stuck until you force quit 
the crashed application. Ok, it's better than Windows 98 where it would crash 
the hole system, but...

And the same happens when some applications are doing something (Adobe 
Première, for example). Where's multitasking in the "most advanced OS"?

I know that too. Just means that you always have to type /Volumes/ first, and 
add "(...)" to access some directories. Yes, you can do it, but if Apple 
expected users to use the command line either they wouldn't organize it that 
way or they would be very stupid.

I can put a bunch of obstacles in front of my door and manage to get in 
anyway, but it's so much easier if the door is free...
