In a September 1983 "Popular Computing" article entitled "How Invincible is
Big Blue?", the author A. Richard Immel writes on page 52:

	"Early users of the IBM 10-megabyte hard disk call it a "dog,"
	and many corporate buyers are sticking with outside vendors."

Does anyone know what's behind this claim?  Any experience, pro or con, 
with the IBM hard disk?
