Rahul, I could make the same argument about my 8" 1.25 M diskettes
on my NEC APC.  8" diskettes used to be pretty cheap compared to
5.25" disks, too.  I guess size DOES matter to some people.

Remember Apple's advertising for the IIc?  "We made the computer
smaller, by building the disk drive in!"?
(Personally, I think they should have built two disk drives in
and made it twice as small.)
