mount!  It's really one of the big things that *nix does better.  Run
out of space in /home/jsmith/foo?  Slot in a new hard drive, copy the
data across then mount it over the top.  Hey presto, more space for
/home/jsmith/foo without having to update anything pointing to it.

Try running Windows with only a small C: drive and using D: for
installing applications.  It just doesn't work!  Everything wants to be
on C:.  Yes, there are kludges around these problems, but the *nix was
is much more elegant.

(If you wanna get tricky, show them LVM.)
