It is almost certain that 140 gigs won't even hold all the 6's, much less any
7's.  Several of the 6 piece files are 2 gigs each (and they don't have any
pawns). Figure a 7 will be 60x bigger, and you get the idea that maybe only 1
pawnless 7 on one of those 140 gig drives.   :)

7's are a _long_ way off...
