Abstract
Beginning with the Sierpinski space - the smallest non-trivial space - examples of such spaces abound. Far from simply being curiosities, they are needed to approximate compact Hausdroff spaces with finite T0 spaces.
We give examples and a partial characterization of normal non-Hausdorff spaces. We discuss the motivation for this type of approximation in computer storage, and the role of these spaces in it.
