Whoa there!  DS drives may be standard now but the sure weren't
for the longest time...  I only have a single sided drive and I
definitely don't intend to get a double sided one -- any money I
invest will go to a hard disc at worst.

Mind you, I don't tend to buy much software so I guess it doesn't
really matter what I think... :-)   (I think I've bought one
software piece [Minix] in the last year or so).
