FWIW... I'm planning to and have your previous message covering that 
still marked unread to reply to later.  But "real life" has temporarily 
been monopolizing my time so the last day or two I've only done 
relatively short and quick replies.  That one will require a bit more 
time to answer to my satisfaction.

So I'm punting for the moment.  But FWIW I tend to be a reasonably heavy 
partitioner (tho nowhere near what I used to be), so a lot of folks will 
consider my setup somewhat extreme.  That's OK.  It's my computer, setup 
for my purposes, not their computer for theirs, and it works very well 
for me, so it's all good. =:^)

But hopefully I'll get back to that with a longer reply by the end of the 
week.  If I don't, you can probably consider that monopoly lasting longer 
than I thought, and it could be that I'll never get back to properly 
reply.  But it's an interesting enough topic to me that I'll /probably/ 
get back, just not right ATM.
