Another reason why I envy those w/ the OD drives is this:
 
The 1.44/2.88 drives are fine if your dealing w/ small files, or distributing
software. However on ODdrive systems if you had a small HD or your HD was 
full, you could always move the less important stuff to your OD & still have
no problems other then it would run slower. 
 
I have a 105Meg station, due to disk-space I had to kill websters & cannot 
keep the on-line docs or mathmatica, or a big HD for the SoftPC, or the 
Tech-help on the 105HD. AND because 2.88 is not sufficient to hold any of 
these uncompressed &/or uninstalled I cannot run them anywhere but on the 
HD, so ? I loose. If I had a 20Meg drive I could keep Websters (I think approx
18Megs) on disk & still have access to the program.
