There might be programs that can't take advantage of 100 extra gigabytes, but that's no reason to say that using the space is unfair. It's 2001. We should be vacationing in space by now. If we can't do that, at least let's use machines with two or more processors. Regardless of what this particular event should be, people should be developing for SMP. bruce
