Actually, I run a BBS, so I keep all my archives, and that may be a problem...

If you had ran a BBS, you would see all you needed to survive would be about a
lot more that 50 megs... You would probably need alot more... If you really did
use your PCT, you could take up a lot of space, and with 20 disks of fonts, you
begin to need more... After all your System INITS, DAs, FXs, and such, you need
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? ;)
