FWIW, I was getting constant nastygrams from the system that free space

getting any more nastygrams . . .
Hmmm - I could get a fairly decent MP3 collection going with that... Even
store some of my photos as well. And to think I was so proud when I
upgraded my XT to have a 10Mb hard disk instead of 2 x 360K floppies - now
you have 130,000 of those disks in what is still a home computer. Cool.
I recall how happy I was to get that 4.3GB drive partitioned into two
sections to give me more much needed space on my Win95 box. Which, when I
got it in Dec 95, came with a 540MB HD. (I had already added a 1.6GB drive
and filled it up before getting the 4.3GB drive.)
Wasn't it someone on this list who used to quote Bill Gates' statement that
"640KB ought to be enough for anybody"? I have single photos (from Cassini
and HST, frex) which are 5×, 10×, . . . that big . . .
