- Oh, you actually logged onto my machine and verified this? For your
- information, I just spent the last 10 minutes scrutinizing my disktab
- file to make sure I didn't make a fool out of myself. There is no
- string containing 1480. There are no entries which look remotely
- like a ~400MB hard disk. As far as recent postings, I hadn't been
- following the thread until just before my post. Maybe netiquette
- requires me to immediately scan all old posts to see if my question
- was previously answered, but I hadn't thought so. In any event,
- netiquette DOES frown on sarcastic put-downs from people who don't
- have their facts right.
