	Lately my 80 meg hard disk is getting kinda crowded, so I thought
	of getting a extra drive, but they cost too much.  Then I saw the
	ad of DiskDoubler by Salient.  It sounded tempting, so I turn to
	all you Mac users out there to find some suggestions and advice.

	First of all, how much will DD slow down my Mac?  I know that it
	runs transparent to the user, but is there a noticeable difference
	as applications or documents are opened?

	Second, how convenient is it to install the program?  I ask this
	because a compression program called Stacks for (gulp) PCs requires
	you to backup your hard disk before installing the software.

	And finally, if your replies interest me enough, where might I get
	a good deal on it?

	Oh, btw, does DD compatible with System 7.0?  This Sys7.0 stuff
	has really gotten my undivided attention.

	
	Please follow up to this article because I don't know if the mails
	can get through for sure.



	Thanx in advance.
