You're right. I was thinking more of a hard drive space. I remember when I bought a 120M hard drive for $700 to put on my amiga 1000 back in 1984. How I was all excited when I loaded the AmigaOS on my 512KB memory/120M hard drive and how fast it loaded vs the floppy disks. Now I can get a 1T for $89 for a laptop. josé _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
