>>> abandoning those of us poor folk who still have only 360k drives???

Relax!!

The "Version 6.0 Update Order Coupon" which arrived in yesterday's mail
asks what media you want.  The four choices are:

	5.25" (1.2MB)
	5.25" (360K)
	3.5" (720K)
	CD-ROM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The product is BIG.  From the March 1990 issue of Microsoft Systems Journal
which also arrived in yesterday's mail, has a big article on C 6.0.  One
thing it says is that if you install all the libraries, you will consume
in excess of 10MBs of hard disk.
