Mr. Hollis:

        Well, that is a separate story and completely different from what
you mentioned. You presented a personal issue you needed assistance with and
I tried to help you out. Now you are angry because IO provided a solution,
and it does not meet your broadest imaginable needs.


Very Respectfully,

"just get some extra space"?

This sounds a lot like "just buy (more ram|faster cpu|etc)",  this is the
microsoft answer to fix a problem that is purely in software.

In any case what about the user who has 100's of gb's on slow removeable
storage (zip, cdr, etc)... tough shit I suppose? In the case of cdr the
conversion could end up being very, very expensive indeed -- not just the
media but the time involved.
