I disagree.  I am constantly
fighting multiple letter drives,
in order to locate this or that
file which I wish to share with
someone on the Internet.  I do
a lot of file transmissions;
I am kinda' like a human "server,"
if you will.  If everything I do
(1 gigabyte and growing) were
organized under a single letter
drive, and furthermore, under a 
single DOS directory, e.g. 
C:\FREEDOMS, then my "name space"
would be much less complicated,
and I would be able to concentrate
more on the task at hand, i.e.
the communicative and political
tasks, as you call them.

C:\FREEDOMS is my goal for
a single directory on a 
single letter drive, growing
to 9 gigabytes uncompressed.
