For example, I have an alias pointing to geowar's public iDisk
because getting to it was a pain in the butt otherwise.

No, one of the strengths of aliases (as fully implemented in OS 9 as
opposed to the half-baked implementation that currently exists in OS
X, hopefully to be fixed in future versions), was seen when you used
them with configurations where you had *more* than one drive. For
example, as I have mentioned before, you can make aliases of files
on removable disks that are not inserted, and it will ask for you to
insert the disk. Now when you throw networking into the mix, it gets
really nice - whenever I ever saw people using Classic that had an
AppleShare server they connected to often, how did they always do
it? They usually had an alias to the server in their Apple menu, and
they mounted it simply by hitting the alias. It automatically
connected to the server, mounted it, and opened it. It was very
slick, and saved the extra step of having to go to the
Chooser/Network Browser/Go To Server and type the address of the
server. This is stuff that seriously needs to be put back into OS
X...
