OK, I'll bite:  How do you fit 4 GB of disk in a Mac?  Where does this
Mac with 4 GB of disk (even external disk) reside?  I'd like to see it.
What is it hooked up to, an IBM 3380?

Perfect example of what I was just talking about.  Every damn limit
that you are babbling about here has NOTHING to do with PC
architecture.  I am setting up PCs now with 24 MB  (easily expandable 
to 40MB), 600 MB of internal disk, and support for 20 users (easily), 
all for about the price of a fully-loaded single-user Mac IIci. 

Get with the '90s, pal.   Or even the late '80s.
