that and the fact that it NEVER crashed. despite serious pounding and
software that almost seemed to by trying to crash it (remember the web
browser interface to the jukebox?). again, there's some distinction to
be made here between the file *system* and the file *server*. was ken's
file *system* good? certainly. but longer file names would've been
nice, and spaces (no, not for anything i create, but for importing!).
but ken's file *server* was bullet-proof.

some other file *systems* i've used have seemed quite good, as well.
but no file *server* comes close.
