Mr. Hollis: Well, that is a separate story and completely different from what you mentioned. You presented a personal issue you needed assistance with and I tried to help you out. Now you are angry because IO provided a solution, and it does not meet your broadest imaginable needs.

"just get some extra space"? This sounds a lot like "just buy (more ram|faster cpu|etc)", this is the microsoft answer to fix a problem that is purely in software. In any case what about the user who has 100's of gb's on slow removeable storage (zip, cdr, etc)... tough shit I suppose? In the case of cdr the conversion could end up being very, very expensive indeed -- not just the media but the time involved. -Dan Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
