Mtools is great for me but windows users don't understand it and quite
frankly shouldn't have to.  Imagine them in Gnumeric editing their
spreadsheet and now they want to save it to the floppy.  There is no way
in hell they will ever figure out mcopy.  The floppy drive needs to be
an option in the file dialog just like it is in windows.   Your asking
people to drop into command line mode and it just ain't gonna happen. 

Mtools is not the solution.
