I want new folders in my iDisk

We have another podcast dropping soon that was a bit of a round table on the good, bad and wishlist for .Mac. Over the last couple days, however, I've started using my idisk more and more for all sorts of private, academic and personal projects, and I just developed another feature request that didn't make it into the cast: the ability to create folders in the root of the idisk. It's set up like a user's home folder on OS X, but the inability to create new folders at the root level forces users like myself to structure their files, folders and projects deeper into the static structure. This can become a pain if these are high-traffic folders or if anyone else needs to get in to use this stuff.

Anyone else nodding your head out there? I'm too lazy to start up a petition, too hungry to go on a strike, and I unfortunately don't know any insiders at Apple who's neck I can ring. Guess I'll have to settle for silently suffering.

[UPDATE: Turns out I merely had to use Get Info to change write privileges in the iDisk. For as long as I can remember though, my automatically-syncing iDisk has denied me file and folder creation in the root until I changed these settings myself. Has anyone else experienced this, or have any insight?]
