I have a system with one internal, & one external hard drive.  I use the inter-
nal hard drive to back up the external one, so I don't need it all the time.  I
discovered that if I hold down Option-Command-Shift-Delete, disabling the
internal hard drive at startup, I get an extra 100k of memory!  I suspect this
is because the system stores the desktop database of each mounted hard drive
in memory.  Either that, or the driver is in memory.
