- Once of nicest parts about formatting floppies on a Sun, that you can
- tell it to eject when done, so you know when to put the next disk in.
-
- (btw, maybe you can mention to IBM to add a /beep option to format.exe,
- so you know when it's finished. one of the drawbacks of having such
- excellent multitasking, is that you forget to check the window to
- see if it's done formatting)
