Come on Michael, Fat32 is not that bad....well at least I havent heard or read anything about it indicating any problems.....to me, it should have been available years ago......but thats another swipe at ms....I assume it wont be long before an updated version of FIPS is available that will support Fat32.....even though ms wont release any specs, look at NTFSDOS...snigger snigger BTW, how is the new user group coming along? If you get it of the ground I will come fly with you guys..... Bryan...
