Anybody buy a Western Digital external USB drive for their Mac lately? I have several of the MyBook drives that are still working and are totally satisfactory, but when I went back to get another a couple of years ago they had turned into MyBook Essential which looked the same, but their engineers had decided that my desktop belonged to them and plastered icons about their useless Smartware all over it. Unremovable icons. Or, that is to say, you could remove them but they would come right back as soon as the drive mounted.
They got a ton of flack at the time, but I had little reason to believe that they would bother to worry about what their customers thought about it.
Anyway. Rant aside, anybody bought one recently and do you still get the software shoved on you?
