PERIOD.  I will not compress a drive, I would rather have a VFAT drive
over a compressed drive.  I know the software has greatly improved in the
years since they periodically 'ate' the drive, but still, I would rather
control how much compression occurs on my drive.  I have a 540meg hard
drive, (this is the one with the 230 meg ceiling?  the trashed address
marks?(P.P.S.  IRS Refund=NEWMACHINE!)), technically I have 100megs of
compressed drive, all of it ZIPed.  Anything which does not get used, (at
least as far as I know), gets packed away.  I'd like to pack away a bunch
of the W#! stuff, but I really don't know where to start. I did pack away
all the VB extension stuff that I know of, and haven't caused any 'missing
file' faults, but I still would like to know what hasn't been accessed for
a while.  I installed, what's it called, that mpeg viewer program?  It put
files all over the place, it's amazing I haven't run into any headless
chickens yet, (musta got them all).  (AMAZING!)

Rattled on enough. l8r:)
