I've been trying to tell that to people for years and no one listened to me. ;-) Back in the day I had a client with a 1gb HD and about 5 OS's installed on different partitions. One of the partitions went and his whole little Multi-OS universe came crashing down. He told me that only that one partition should be down. I tried for days to explain that OS's could jump partitions and he didn�t' believe me. A few years ago I even argued with Dan Knight about that same thing. Glad to hear from someone who also knows what they are talking about. Kyle H.

You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern...do you know what it is?
