   Actually, I use multiple _8TB_ disks daily here at home, but not for BBS use.    
   So, what is a "normal" human by definition?

   From my experiences, that is not the case with eCS and ArcaOS.

   True, but with varying degrees of success, but it's still best to run both   
   under a VM if you need your main OS to be Windows or Linux based.
