Hmmm...this thread has moved on, and yet you don't want to, but still
criticise others for not "moving on" from DOS...you're content to
discuss DOS until you have no reply, whereupon you hide behind the
original discussion. I think you argue in absolutes a bit too
much...ok, here...if I was putting together a new system, AND didn't
have some of the constraints/circumstances that I currently have, I
probably would go with a single FAT32 partition myself. The problem
is, my computer is the result of a process of evolution, and is also a
family computer, and so I have partitions, to accomodate reality. The
rest of the family is free to simply learn what they can/will while
using the PC, because Dad's here to wrestle with any serious
problems...and I usually can, despite the fact that I can't convince
you that I'm capable of grasping the notion of partitions and FAT32.
