Now now.  They still do everything they ever did.  Computers don't get
slower, y'know, except as measured against user expectations.  I still
have a Sun-3/60 in live use (68020/68881/20MHz)....

How *peculiar*.  Do you happen to know where that limit comes from?  An
8G limit wouldn't surprise me (a 24-bit field for a sector number, with
512-byte sectors).  A limit close to that but nearly two hundred megs
under it, though, does surprise me.

Heh.  You make me want one. :)  (Yes, I'm kidding.  Mostly.)
