- Agreed.
-
- However, a 20MB disk isn't worth much, either...
-
- That depends. As an only machine with that as the only disk, I agree. (System
- Folder of 10Meg+, a major application requiring 5Meg, ...) But I have two
- Macs already, and just intend to use the PB100 pretty much as a dedicated
- MIDI engine.

- Then again, you can always run AutoDoubler. (I would as well, were it not for
- Salient's atrocious practice of crippling their products to localise
- sales and ramping up European prices.)
-
- Then again again, you can pick up a Hitchhiker pocket HD at some stage,
- or wait until the HP Kittyhawks hit the streets (now, *that* is frightening
- technology...)

- White, Literate, Employed, Higher-Educated, Male, Straight and Not Poor.
- I must be a bad guy.

- That makes two of us.
