Re: Hard drive compression etc.

Hardpressed and AutoArc will compress files, so less space will be taken up on
the hard drive...  this means that though a 20 meg drive will still be a 20
meg drive, most files will take up quite a bit less space on the drive,
giving the equivalent of a bigger hard drive...  This being the case, no
re-partitioning will be necessary... :)

And, Dhrystone is way to test the speed of your computer at doing certain
processes...  it's one way of checking how much faster your computer is with
an accelerator than without, or how one computer compares in speed to
another... (though it, like most benchmark tests, have some drawbacks in
checking different processors against each other, but that's more than I want
to get into on a tag-end note...  ;)

Yes, it's two, count 'em two, replies in one post!  <grin>
