   Apple II or IIGS? You could live with 20MB on a II; not too many
programs eat lots of space. On a GS, you can fill 50MB with games no
problem, another 50MB of sound/music stuff no problem. My
'development' parition of the HD fills about 25MB with GNO, Orca
compiler suite, random utils, and source code. (All my source is
probably about 3-4MB; somthing about ASM eating lots of space in
source, but the object code being tiny. On the other end, C can eat
diddly squat on the source side, and tons on the object end.

   Let's see. At work, I'm using maybe 5GB, but maybe 2 of that is
on backup disks. Something about 700MB files, and videos digitized
at 30mb/sec tends to eat lots of space. Others in the group have
used maybe 100GB for simulations. If you don't want that gig disk,
I'll take it :)
