Jon, You may very well be right. I do remember that a great deal of overhead was required just to make accessing what you were looking for a same-day task. That's the only problem with having gobs of storage space. Unless it is divied up in a logical manner, searching for a single item becomes a nightmare. As I remember, the method used in that particular case was search the index, and use that to find the actual information. Even while using the index, however, the time to look up something general was in the minutes range. Unless you knew what you were looking for specifically, which was almost painless, the search took a long time. Still, the thought of availability of all that storage for long-term files and permanent backups makes me drool. Doug
