[Avid-L2] Re: Limiting "Avid MediaFile" Folder Creation

BTW - you can actually remove those drives when connected to Pro Tools, just not in the usual "eject" manner from Finder. In Pro Tools, if you go to the Workspace and find the disk you want to eject, right click it and tell it to "Unmount" and it'll eject. Nobody tells us these things, but I found it, so I'm passing it along...
