So I don't really need extra space (except if I become very lazy and let the HDz get bloated:) In production world, you avoid touching what's working right until it really breaks (remember that PCI bus superseded the ISA bus only a fistful of years ago). I understand your way (especially the HD's one AT THE TIME YOU DESCRIBE), but today I don't wanna fall in consumerism. For large calculations, I use big juicy multi-core/CPU machines with several TB of RAM, but for my every day reporting or stuffs like that, a 12 years machine mono-CPU & 1.5GB RAM is far enough… -- <Hyke> What did you do for woman's day? <Phil> I left her out
