- 80 megs would be nice, but probably not cost effective. And listen up C=, we
- mean business! We aren't going to but 1200s w/o hard drives! (I'm not, and
- I'm sure most others with 500s and hard drives won't either... I for one
- refuse to step down from a hard drive + 5 megs to 2 megs + one floppy!)
-
- Of course, if there's a 3rd party willing to put them in cheaper ... we might
- reconsider. :)
