Galloway, Jr. contract programmer, San Jose, Ca > >These are my views, NOT Apple's, I am a GUEST here, not an employee!! Ok, I see now...BUT just for the heck of it, why not use it on CD? The read/ write CDs are out now and have plenty of room. Are they just too slow? How about putting the AUX stuff that isn't used often on a CD (as was suggested in a mail message sent directly to me) like the man pages, games, least used tools? By the way, thanks to those that responded directly. Lance Saleme Peat Marwick / Apple Computer [<These are my views, not KPMG's, not Apple's, etc..whatever.>]
