I disagree. One use of Suitcase is to poont (tech term) your fonts and DAs
 into separate files. Why? So the Apple Installer doesn't blow away all your
 stuff every time you upgrade! All I keep in the System are the Apple DAs, and
 the Chicago, Geneva, and Monaco fonts. I've got close to 7MB worth of
 external suitcases. I'd hate to poont all that into the System file!
