What in the world could you use that much storage for?!? I hadn't completely
filled my old 30 mb but I replaced it with a 105 mb Quantum anyway since the
30 mb was a slow and noisy Seagate. It has a 30 mb ProDOS volume containing
the stuff from the Seagate and a 70 mb HFS volume with about 14 mb of sounds 
and stuff and otherwise empty. My IIgs is set for life on disk space.
