Question #1: What the hell is Advanced File Utility? When I bring it up, all
i get is one menu, FILE, with two options in it, Erase/Initialize, and quit. I
can Erase/Initiailze in the Finder. I don't need a seperate utility to do it.
Is there more to this program, and if there is, why can't I get to it?
Question #2: What is the difference between the two 800k format options in
the format dialogue box. I can guess what the 400k option is (obviously, but I
can't think of any reason I'd use it) but I've initialized 800k disks both ways
and I can't detect any difference.
Question #3: Why does it simply hang sometimes for no apparent reason after
attempting to launch something. It will close all the windows and then it just
hangs.
Other than the above points, I'm pretty impressed. I just wish it loaded
faster. The boot progress bar makes it more tollerable to wait, because you
know approximately when it will be done, but it's still darned slow.

There sure are a lot of problem reports for 5.0. It kinda reminds me of the
4.0 release, when a lot of people copied the files they felt they had to copy
instead of using the installer. Be careful out there... one file left out can
cause you lots of headaches. Especially if the file is supposed to be
deleted!
