Wow, I have to give the nod to you on that one Don.  Being a developer,
I figured no one would have more files that me (except maybe another
developer).  1.1 million files taking up 608Gb

My computer has 1.4 million files.  This came from my first virus scan.

DOS is cool.

Back in the DOS 2 days, I knew every file on my computer
and what it did.  I was the master of a very small
universe.  I wrote a treelist function for my own
shell that would let me catalog every file on my
system.

I know the feeling.  I often imagine what DOS would
be like on any of my obsolete computers--they are
WAAAAAAAAAAAY beyond my old 8088 for horsepower!

I've put DOS on a couple of thumb drives for various
nefarious schemes.  It works.  It's useful.  It brings
back lots of happy memories.  Then I unplug it and
go back to GUI-world.  No more whole-system catalogues.
I'm not even sure of the order of magnitude of system
and program files on my computer.  40,000?  More?
Beats me.  As long as they stay quiet and play together
nice, I don't look at them.
