Relax!!

The "Version 6.0 Update Order Coupon" which arrived in yesterday's mail
asks what media you want.  The four choices are:

	5.25" (1.2MB)
	5.25" (360K)
	3.5" (720K)
	CD-ROM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The product is BIG.  From the March 1990 issue of Microsoft Systems Journal
which also arrived in yesterday's mail, has a big article on C 6.0.  One
thing it says is that if you install all the libraries, you will consume
in excess of 10MBs of hard disk.
