	You know, back when the GS first came out, I thought 4 gigs was a hell
of a lot of disk space.  Can't conceive how anyone could use that much space.  
It still is, but I can probably fill it up in a year or less nowadays.  Back
then, it was those "big businesses" that need 200 megs or more.  My 200 meg HD 
have only about 5 megs left...  Guess it's time to move stuff off the HD over
to floppies... ;-)
	Ciao.
