True, but I don't think the implications are symmetric. I buy storage to handle space (expected to be) used, not space available. But when I find myself caring about the "slop" in space available, the fact that I care about that is already very bad news. Time to head for Fry's Electronics! As I wrote before, I don't think the same argument applies to scientific computing. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
