No, but it's biiiig, and roooound! (http://dilbert.com/fast/1994-03-24/) It's a nice round number, and with even the by-modern-standards smallish drives I was using, it rounds to 0 "wasted" space. So I figured, what does it hurt? My mail was just to say IWBNI the hurt was more "Hey, this probably isn't going to work, are you sure?" rather than "Hahaha, you think you can boot??
