Agreed.  We all get sloppy sometimes.  For example, I could argue that 
_logically_ if we're talking about the "boot sector on Drive C:" I _have_ to 
be talking about the DOS boot area, because "Drive C:" is a DOS view of the 
universe, and if I were talking about the MBR I should refer to the "hard 
disk" or "the physical disk" first sector.
It's a distinction that's easy to forget - and the discussion I had about 
DEBUG being able to access "the first sector" earlier this year points that 
out. :-)
