I wish I had a recording, but I hate to tell you that you really
really did.  Back when the DD stuff came in, I asked you "hey, Poul,
in the DD case what the heck should I set the geometry to?" and you
said "how about 1 for everything?"

So I did.  Believe me, I didn't just make it up on my own - I've never
professed to have any idea about the proper care and feeding of
geometries, just as you've proclaimed a lack of knowledge/interest in
GUI design, and I'm just following orders here. :-)

In any case, rather than pointing fingers I'd just as soon make it
DTRT, but I'm still waiting for input on what TRT is. :-)
