- I'd like an OS that wasn't so damn dependent on the install disks!
- Other products I have don't make me haul out the install disks ALL
- THE TIME to fix a problem. Heck, even unix (copyright at&t) doesn't
- make me haul out the boot tape to fix the file system.

- Yes, i have a full backup of my disks, and yes, I undderstand - and
- even agree with- the way drive c: can't be written to by checkdisk
- when it's the active drive...but still.

- running apps down, clean the swap file up, do a checkdisk and drop me
