Maybe I'm thinking of earlier systems but if I recall there was a
huge storage waste reduction if you went to partitions of less than
about 32 gig. I recall dividing a 160 gig drive into 5 drives.

My Suped up Win 98 system had stuff they never considered in 1998
such as 128 meg of Ram to go with the 160 gig hard drive.
All software was updated to the max. Most of the Windows programs
were replaced with Win ME versions and the Drive Explorer, Browser,
Antivirus system, Notepad, Write, and MS Office programs were all
replaced with other better, non-Microsoft options, etc..
