- Yeah, but ever have a disk go bad on a MAC or IBM? The Amiga's file system
- may bring up directories slower but if you ever get an error on a floppy or HD
- your in a hell of lot better shape than on a MAC or IBM. I gladly live with
- slower dir updates considering how muchmore data saftey we get. Also the
- new DCFFS bring the directories up much faster than the old OFS.
