Hi Dave, I watched the news conference too and I thought her analysis seemed reasonable, not that I know much about computers. A colleague had a computer crash because it had too much stuff in it, so I think that makes sense. But the question that immediately comes up is, Why didn't someone think of this? Suerely the federal government has plenty of computer scientists who know exactly what happens when too many files stack up -- so why didn't they give poor Spirit a protocol to dump files before they got too numerous? Best wishes, Joe
