Dear Commodore,

	Please, when selling 3.5" drives for the 2000, or when selling
2000's with two drives in them, include a couple of little stickers or
something that will permit the user to label his/her drives, so that s/he and
visitors to his/her home will know WHICH DRIVE IS WHICH.

	I've always had to go through a brief hair-pulling session every
time I've sat down at a 2000 with two drives in it.  I sit down, and insert
my disk into one of the drives.  Then, a blank expression crosses my face as
I wonder which drive is which.  I'm supposed to know these machines inside
and out, so I resist the urge to ask which drive is which.  So I take a wild
guess and try df1:.  Invariably, I get it wrong.

	So, dearest Commodore, could you print up some stickers for users to
use?
