From the Mac LC specs:

SOUND INPUT
- Monaural 8-bit sound
- Sound samples can be made at 22 or 11 kilohertz
- Macintosh Audio Compression Expansion (MACE) sound utility, supporting
  3:1 or 6:1 compression, which allows approximately half an hour of
  sound to stored on a single 40-megabyte hard disk.

What's the best the the ACE tools can do?

What kind of sound quality are you left with after a 6:1 compression?

Better yet, how often do people want to fill a 40MB hard drive with 30 minutes
of digitized noise?!?

Just curious.
