I know what you mean - I had the same feeling. However, taking a step back and thinking "this namespace is the generic place to put things to do with I/O" made me less bothered about it. The class names within the namespace should, of course, make sense - but filesystems only make sense when viewed in the larger context of I/O. phil -- change name before "@" to "phil" for email
