I started a similar discussion a few weeks ago, since I, too, would prefer
a two-floppy (or even one-floppy) LC over the 2/40 model.  Judging from the
responses I got, there was quite a bit of demand for such a configuration.
Apparently, some people had even called Apple directly and asked about this.
Apple's answer, if I remember correctly, was that this configuration _might_
be offered if there was enough demand for it (and if the K-12 market didn't
suck up all available units ...).

So, let's all make some noise and see if we can get Apple to make the 2/0
configuration available to us.  After all, it's being manufactured already
anyway, so there is hardly any extra effort required on Apple's part ...
