What >size of drive are other people using? What speeds? Most people get drives in the 20-80MB range, it depends on your needs. Me? I need all the storage I can get. I've got too many currently- in-use floppies to fit on a 40, and I know from experience that (for me) an 80 wouldn't last the year. For most 'standard' users, 20-40MB is fine. If you are doing anything series, 80MB will hold you. If you are one of the few (me, Bryce though he might not know it, Peter by definition, MWM by virtue, etc...) then 80MB might be good only for auxillary storage. -Matt
