I don't remember even configuring that. Virtual Machine Ctrl Panel reports the
virtual disk as 'Compact 4.0 GB'. 'Capacity' section has 'Current size: 768 Kb',
System Free: 2.5 Gb, Maximum size: 4.0 Gb'. And, yes, those lowercase b's are
VMware's - I hope that is just ignorance on their part and they really mean KB and
GB.

BTW, are my email lines wrapped properly? I don't know how to check that (View

the past with ignoring that.
