Hi,
   Something I noticed recently :-  I reformatted my Quantum 105 (3rd
party so I fiddled with Apple's formatter :-).  Anyway I was just
wondering why my 105Meg HD formats to 102Meg (Max partition size) then
shows ~100,000K fress space when empty under System 6.0.7 and then
~98Meg under System 7.0 (yes it goes back to 100,000K when I go back to
6.0.7).  I more or less understand the reduction caused by formatting,
etc, but why the diff between Sys 7.0 and 6.0.7 ?  It's a pity to 'lose'
the 7 Megs I could have used to for puting System 7.0 on :-).
	Michael.
