I tend to agree with this, at least as far as System Folder
organization goes. What I do (admittedly only useable on a Mac II) is
to organize the System Folder by color. System files are blue, INITs
orange, cdevs cyan, etc. This allows easy visual recognition of what's
what and permits View by Color to list things by type.
