I agree with you in principle Matt, however I did verify something with
PC's that is not true with the Amiga. And that is that on hard disks
the PC's dir command gets slower and slower as the disk get bigger and 
bigger up until it breaks at 32Megs. The Amiga's on the other hand
stays the same speed, and doesn't have a hard disk size limit. (Nor
does it waste a lot of space on "clusters" or "allocation blocks")
Personally, I consider that fact relevent now that Maxtor has a 675 Meg 
5.25" winchester. (can you say 22 Ms-Dos partitions?) I am sure Microsoft
will continue to improve and upgrade their software as I am sure C/A
will too.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
