- If you had ran a BBS, you would see all you needed to survive would be about a

- use your PCT, you could take up a lot of space, and with 20 disks of fonts, you

- at least 100 megs... If you do any heavy DTP work, or anything, you'll need a
- lot more...

- 52 megs is okay, but would 200 megs be much nicer if you could afford it? ;)
