- One interesting thing I did was simply remove The dictionary,
- quotations, and literature directories entirely, replacing them with
- softlinks to the CDRom. Works great, though of course you must have
- the CDRom in if you want to access them.
-
- I'm somewhat disappointed that the NeXT CDRom drive doesn't spin-down
- an idle drive, though, it makes for totally unecessary wear.
