  I started looking into this more today, and quickly rediscovered how
much of a giant pile of kludges the IBM-PC is.  I'm now far more
confused than I was when I started.  So, to go back to the original
question -- "Why are USB flash drives partitioned?" -- I now think
it's because the Illuminati like OS/2.
