WINDOGS

[Richard Hubbard]

It also depends on which version of Windo$e you have. 
If you have Win2k or WinXP (sorry, i wasn't at the
meeting, so I didn't seee), then you can reassign the
drive letters to anything you want.  (hell, in win2k,
M$ finally got religion and they allow you to mount a
drive in an empty directory, so it looks like one big
hard drive....I wonder where they got that
idea?..duh!)
