Yeah - it won't let me make aliases of those things. Its pretty close  
to what you get if you do Go => Computer from the finder menu. But I  
can't get it to make aliases of those top level items in the desktop.  
If you could alias that, it would be pretty close to double-click a  
"Computer" icon. As it is, you have to do an extra step to get there.
