I believe that there is an upper limit to HD size but it's high enough
to be of little concern for almost all individuals.  I have recently
found out some details about FAT32 that MS didn't widely publicize.  The
cluster size still grows quite rapidly even in what are now considered
moderately sized drives.  Remember that from eariler Windows ?
