At the time of its install,

1) the machine BIOS would not see it as a 40GB drive but it would when it was
limited to 32GB
2) I wasn't aware that Dani would counter that effect and
3) 32GB was pretty close to 40GB and was still such an inconceivably large
amount of space at the time that it didn't really matter to me
4) any attempt to undo it seemed to mean backing it up and restoring it, i.e.
not being able to do it in place

All this seemed to add up to alot of hassle and time for not alot of gain, for
my personal assessment.
