Software will expand to take up all available RAM and CPU processing
power.  MP3s and net pron will expand to take up all available HD space.

I remember when a 1G disk was HUGE... now I have a 20G in this system,
and its considered SMALL.. You can get an 80G for LESS than what I paid
for (at company-cost-prices) for a Seagate 1G IDE back in 1995.

($250 for that drive... and $700 for my first SPARCstation 1.. *sniff*)
