Jasmine's a good HD. I want to point out to this guy, though, that he should
think VERY carefully before going with a 20meg. 40 megs is, from what I've
seen and heard, becoming the standard. Hypercard stacks are running up to
100K easily. Programs like PageMaker, Word, FullWrite, and so on can quickly
hit 2 megs before any documents are created. I have a megabyte of Fonts and
DA's. If you have a modem, you'll be downloading streams and binaries often,
and these will eat up a lot of space. If you copy software from friends or
download from pirate BBS's, forget it. You'll fill it up overnight. A 40meg
drive is not only much faster than a 20, but also is MUCH more cost-efficient,
in terms of cost-per-megabyte; spend another couple hundred or so and get
twice the space and speed. It's worth it.
