I suppose that's true, but I've used it a couple of times when software
wouldn't work, to see if it's a 3.5+ problem or a problem with the software
itself. I didn't always have it that way, but now I've a 40GB drive, and
with that, you won't notice an extra couple of 100MB partitions... Why not
have them? They're not normally mounted anyway...

Rob
