It gets very difficult some times, especially when two of the people I respect 
most on the list are of opposite belief.  I like you both so much, that when I 
have to make the final decision, I won't be able to say, or the other will 
think I respect him more.

A curiosity for my own understanding though.  Is there a limit to how many 
logical partitions can be located within an Extended partition?  I have 
sufficient media in my artwork to want to separate them by partitions rather 
than just folders.  It isn't critical, but would have an impact on my 
decision.  I have worked 11 media over the past 60 years.

Cheers friend,
