Given a retail price of $799 for the entire Falcon, do you really think it's reasonable to tell people to expect to pay more than 40% of the cost of the computer to just add a floppy disk drive..? How do you explain to someone who would like to add a $42 floppy drive that it's going to take a Floptial 21 Meg drive to accomplish what they want to do..? BobR
