[Thinkpad] I'm BAAACKK

Now first of all, no I won't shut up
Now that's settled, the first controversy...
NTFS is ABSOLUTELY better than FAT32 if...
You need to create and manipulate files bigger than 4 gig.
it is also more efficient - A one hour DVD quality video capture on an A20P
one gig (see, it IS ThinkPad related) hits the 4 gig ceiling (actually, one
hour one minute 8 seconds). That is not 4,000,000. It is something like
4,137,000 (don't recall the exact number)
The same one hour capture on NTFS is only 3.7 gig - probably a 10 or 11%
efficiency. Of course, when you burn it to DVD, it goes back up to the full
4.7 gig.
So NTFS is better in two respects.

NOW, on to business: (A commercial break)
