But the Troublespace that comes with the Win 9X's isn't as unstable and
prone to data compression as the ones that came before it, at least M$
managed to get that right (relief), however still the compression isn't as
good as stacker, and about DS's stability, well I wouldn't store any
important files...I would tar/gzip them and keep them on the main drive
instead, keeping the compressed drive for easily compressed frequently
accesed stuff like MS-Word with all its f*beep* bloated MS-word
documents...

Best Wishes,
Grendel
