I use BASIC.SYSTEM to delete files and stuff, too.  Faster to boot up to when
you don't have a hard drive.

When System 5.0 is *availiable*, perhaps there will be upgraded backup
utilities ready.  It seems that lots of developers have been seeded with the
beta version of 5.0. Being intense hard drive users, they will somehow get
their files backed up.  Probably one of the first 5.0 applications will be a
hard disk backup!  Anyway, as you appear have a hard drive, it's gonna boot up
SIX TIMES as fast as it does under System 4.0!  I don't think you have too
much to worry about as far as boot time is concerned :)
