And, while they're not there yet (the largest capacity iPod-Photo from Apple has what, a 60 GB HDD? But, that's halfway to oblivion), note that at the moment, msdosfs(5) has a limit of 120GB for most practical intents and purposes. It may be interesting to see who gets past the 120 GB barrier first: the hardware vendors or the operating system. But, it's already a tad of an issue with devices like USB HD enclosures, so surely the mp3-players can't be far behind. But who really needs to *carry* 120GB of music around with them? Ah, well like Gates said, "640K should be enough for anybody!" :-) Kevin Kinsey
