checking removable drives

[Charles Hartman]

(an OT, musing response:) Interesting. A year or so ago, on a Python  
list, because I was trying to write a my0wnData file (for the  
program, not the user), I asked how to find out what "the program's  
own folder" *was*. On OS X it's weird; the "own folder" turns out to  
be inside the application bundle (so invisible to the user). But the  
interesting bit is that I got told by many, many people on that list  
that one should never, never write things in arbitrary (non-system- 
designated) places, or assume anything about where anything was  
written that relied on any "default" location.
