Another great idea:

                You've heard of virtual RAM, by swapping to disk,
                How about virtual diskspace, by swapping to floppies?

                Typically you'd have some daemon running... when
                the freespace gets to below a threshold, the
                daemon looks at the least recently accessed file and
                gzip's it out to a blank disk, and tells the user
                to label that disk with the current number: eg 45

                can you imagene havving an 80disk box sitting next to your
                pc (an extra 115Mb) and only when you need to use
                obscure files....
                like:

                        man man

                or:
                        man ls

                or:
                        xmono

                does it swap in again.

what do you people think? (post please...)
