==Users	Disk Storage Capacity

==748	4436 MB

==These systems are working fine with these configurations.

How many of those users are logged on simultaneously?  I think that's what
he's looking for.  There have been PDP 11/70's with 1700 users in the
password file, but certainly not all logged in at once.
