Hi Ricardo,

I find that using the Sidebar is faster, and I just like it. :)

At any rate, since I've been using it for so long and like it so much, I'd like 
to get it back the way it used to be.  I frequently connect external drives, 
and the Sidebar helps me keep things straight.  While I don't mind other 
approaches (variety being the spice of life and all that) I just like having a 
functioning Sidebar. :)

My very best to you, Ricardo, and thanks for the fantastic podcasts!  You are 
an asset!
