Hmmm, I didn't know GPT was an option other than on IA-64.
Microsoft supports LDM in GPT for NT5.x (2000/XP/2003) as well.
I'm so used to breaking up SAN and local disk volumes into less than
1TB.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
