SYMANTEC SUES APPLE

Apple's new System Events software threatens livelihood of data repair
companies. System Events acts on deleted data, thus effectively bypassing
the
need for third-parties to come to the rescue to save accidentally deleted
data.

Says a Symantec spokesperson who wishes to remain anonymous: "Apple's new
System Events prevents users from losing data. Datarecovery is *our*
business. We depend on users being scared of losing data. Without that,
we're nothing. It's just not fair..."

Does it support RendezVous?

The reason I asked is that I'm still hoping to get Finder Windows to
accurately display available disk space. Under Jaguar I used the below script
which worked fine, but under Panther it doesn't seem to do anything.

on idle
tell application "Finder"
set theDisks to get every disk whose local volume is true
repeat with i in theDisks
update i
end repeat
end tell
return 2
end idle
