I didn't put it there and it's dated 1st Jan 1970, suggesting some kind of automated imposition from above. I guess its creation came with one of the recent upgrades? I find it rather awkward (eg suddenly "find /" finds stuff in _all_ the drives on my system) so I've deleted it. Can anybody tell me anything about its mystery arrival? Thanks.
