SarcasticSam: Who needs directories anyway when the hard-drive is already one gigantic directory... THOSE IDIOTS! Yes Sam, it seems this thread has degenerated into a testosterone induced contest to determine who can open the largest file, climb inside, and then jump around the fastest -- MAY THE BEST MEAT-HEAD WIN!
