George, want to really get apoplectic?  Looky looky what MS created just
for you in XP, not that you'll ever use XP. On the one hand, they say that
pathological databases with one file for every record will never inflate
the MFT to a similarly pathological state - those bad old Win2k days are
over..

On the other, they seem to give you this feature....

I don't think I've ever seen a setting that demands so much crystal-ball
action from the administrator since the P-System (preallocate all you'll
ever use for anything, for all time).  Well, the setting's there now.

Maybe we should all just stay far away from file-per-record
"databases," and avoid the damp underwear effect?
