[net.micro.mac] Changing "startup" disks

There have been several people who have mentioned ways to change what the
Mac thinks of as the "current system disk" or "startup disk".  There is a
very simple way to do this, but I haven't found it documented anywhere.

In the Finder, if you hold down Option and Command while double-clicking a
file, it launches that file, whether it's an application or not.  To change
startup disks, open the system folder of the disk you want to switch to, 
hold down Option and Command, and double-click the Finder.  That's it.

Launching the System bombs, and launching data files is seldom amusing.
