I didnt know Windows 1.0 was ever made or existed...of course i wouldnt know cause in those days i had just started to go to Kindy!! :)

Definitely Mr 98, 95 and ME will not want to coexist in the same system...but otherwise your other plan seems solid enough to fill the HD ;)

But I havent for sure come across a multibooting Win95/98/ME system yet!! Wouldnt be that surprised if there is one though!

66747 2002-07-31 03:05:00 The first "cheap" hard disk I saw (buyable , i.e. not installed in a computer) was a 14" diameter 5 MB ( it was a 19" rack mounted one) . It cost $US4000. That was in 1974.

In the 80s I went to a seminar given by a couple of guys from NASA. They were talking about their terabyte (10^12 B) databases, and how they handled them. Now I think they have petabytes (10^15).

You will need 200 GB for your browser/OS in a couple of years, if you stick with MS.

You don't need to backup, do you? ]:) Disks are reliable. Yeah.

If you're fussy, you can get a selfloading DLT library. Start at about $10000 or so, don't they?
