Could'nt agree more. I spent 3 + Yrs doing the Shell/nn xxxx...;-)
The time factor is kinda goofy tho,I now spend more time because I
have more time.
But 1 BIGGY is a decent HD. My old TrumpCardPro/Maxtor 345 on my A2K just
can't handel the fast r/w's of THOR, In fact it can't handel anything
fast....

Sooo I run THOR on my 1200 50x50x32M Quantum 1.02 GIG, only 1 time/need
to use QBack Tools and that was 'cause of a goofy MIME/Encoded file.
Still use THOR in a seperate 50 Meg Partition which I will probably
increase soon.

PS, if you decide to use THOR, make sure you also get the 'x' files
that contain some missing Config scripts.
They're on THOR Support and the Demon Mirror.
