Points taken -- how about using some emoticons so we *know* rather than 
*assume* you're not being an "I-told-you-so jerk"?  ;-)

But...  uh...  It's probably not too cool to blatantly call someone 
"wrong" either...  'cause in one way I'm not wrong -- in that there 
really is no "real" way for a Blue G3 to address an entire 160 GB drive 
as a *Mac* volume (HFS+ format) with the built-in ATA controller.  Was 
it wrong for me to assume it needed to be a *Mac* volume (the only 
truly usable format for getting real work done)?
