To Ricer46: Thanks a lot. I will definitely consider this in the long run (because,
like you, I'm smarter than Microdumb). I wonder if there's any tradeoff since each
program then has to search its data on a different drive. My guess is--that's NOT
a problem, or if it is, it's a smaller problem than the backup mess we get this way.
Anybody else want to comment on Ricer46's good idea?
