I sure hope they go with 3.2Mb disks, even though the cost will
probably be much higher.  I feel this way because:

(a) it has always been ridiculous to sell machines with a main memory
larger than the main disks.  In the near future, multifinder will make
2Mb machines "standard" -- which would make 1.6Mb disks ridiculous.

(b) Once again it will be comfortable to run a floppy-only machine
with no disk-swap polka.  This will make low-end macintoshes much more
competitive.

(c) The cost in software distribution is horrendous.  Many companies
today must distribute 2,3,4, or 5 disks with their product.  This
costs money because:
 (1) The floppies themselves cost money, so does the extra duplication.
 (2) developers have to hassle with packing everything tightly on the disks.

Are you listening Apple?
