Oh, Office2k isn't that big, not unless you install every single
little thing, including maybe a ton of clipart.  I just did a
reinstall of almost the full thing yesterday (Word, Excel, Powerpoint,
Access, Frontpage) with all the templates, doo-dads, basically every
single program or add-on except PhotoDraw and the Spanish/French
support and I don't think it hit 400 megs.

Games, though, are another matter.  400-650 meg installs are common
now, with games like Baldur's Gate taking 2.5 gigs.  I'm using 4 gigs
on one of my drives for 3 games right now.
