	Well, your are wrong about that, the Model 30 hard-drive
	have an average access time of 35ms (According to SPINRITE II)
	at the interleave factor of 4. It is not the slowest hard
	drive in the world. The Model 25/30 would be a good machine
	to start out from for someone who is getting into the
	computer world. Of course, you could say that you could
	get the same system a lot cheaper then IBM, but as you might
	know some people out there would go for brand name products.

	Just my observations.
