I would like to add my 2 bits to this discussion.  I have a hard drive
and 2  5.25" dirves on my system.  I don't see why I should have to buy
a 3.5" drive just to load the full dictionary onto my HD.  We should be
given the option at least to have the full spelling dictionary on the 
5.25" floppies, we are paying the same price for the up-grade.  We are
the only ones that really know how our system will be used and what we
are willing to put up with in disk wwapping, etc.
