Yes, and there's a small problem with that: the hard drive (OK: storage media) is partitioned into blocks of certain sizes -- in the old-old days 1024 bytes. 1023 bytes of data, great! Use 1025, just used two blocks and 99% of that second block is empty. I've always stored a lot of potentially useful information on my computer just so I could have it handy. With a 20 MB hard drive I wanted to maximize that capacity so would spend time editing files to fit in that 1023 parameter. ...It seemed to work, but probably in the long term not worth the time and effort. And of course now a TB of starage - no problem! ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® .... Doctor, I feel like a pair of curtains.
