Jeff, how many 1.5MB stacks can you fit on a ProDOS
volume?  My point was simply that hypermedia stacks
and other multimedia data files rapidly eat up ProDOS
volumes.  HFS volumes can be large enough to store
many more such files.  It is convenient if you want to
organize such files in one place.  With ProDOS volumes,
you'd need to jump volumes very soon.
