Amen.

I got a 320 gigabyte drive for VMware, and I've run out of space on it  
twice.  I like to keep snapshot images in case I need to go back in  
time a few days, and VMware Fusion does not yet support multiple  
snapshots from within the product.

Evidently there has been so much noise about it, they are going to put  
it in some future upgrade.

Hope so.

Anyway, drive space is cheaper than my sanity, so I just bought a  
drive for VMware and it is much nicer.
