I own a Mac Plus, and I would like to buy a hard drive.  This may sound
stupid, but what does milliseconds of access time mean to me?  Is there
much of a difference between 19 and 68?  Obviously, the access would more
than triple, but I'm not concerned with 1 sec vs. 3 sec to load up a MS
Word docment.

Should I be concerned with access time, or price?
In this light, what is the most practical hard drive, reasonable price,
and reasonably fast, as well as dependable?
