You could select the disk and then &quot;Eject&quot;. Dragging to the trash was a shortcut to unmount and eject.<p>As for Macs not having the problem, this doesn&#x27;t require qualification. Not only did Macs not have the problem, they treated disks as logical _volumes_ rather than physical devices. If you ejected a disk mid-save on a Mac it would complain, and if you inserted the wrong disk it would reject it and ask for the right one. If you did the same thing on a DOS&#x2F;Windows machine it would correct the new disk (and leave the old disk corrupted too).<p>Similarly, you could copy files from one disk to another without having two disk drives in Finder (it was a pain in the neck, swapping the disks, but it worked). Other computers needed special software and relied on the user to insert the correct disk.<p>This advantage continues to this day. Windows still refers to devices by physical location.
