I keep all my "non-binary" (/compressible) stuff in the first 8GB. Above 8GB, it's all "binary" (/uncompressible) stuff: - .MP3's (from CD) - .JPG's (archived to CD) - copies of (software) CD's So nothing ever gets backed up from above 8GB - it's all backed up before it gets put there. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
