Actually, the finder was the first to have proxy icons IIRC. They
point DIRECTLY to the folder the window points to. It makes me mad I
can't drag things on them as i could in 9.1

Finder's window titles don't behave as proxies for anything... They
are inconsistent with all cocoa apps.
And as far as having the computer icon represent a proxy for either
"all of the disks" or as another person said, the "root directory".
Neither of these notions makes sense. The root directory is the
root of the osx disk. and how does a proxy represent "all of the
disks" on a computer? What would that ever be used for in the sense
how all other file proxies are used?
I guess the answer to my question is, use the Carbon api and ignore
the HIG guideline just like Finder does.
