limits
you can't go faster than the speed of light, you can't buy the world, you can't help everyone, you can't live forever. there are limits on lots of things, even path name length and directory nesting depth. these limits may depend on the file system type: if you are using FAT instead of NTFS, or if you are burning CDs, the traditional DOS limits may apply.
for a system without arbitrary limits (not even #defining PATH_MAX in the system headers) look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Hurd
