Well, I've been and gone and ordered a new machine - a P75 with a 1.0 GB disk. It won't arrive for a week or so but I'm passing the time thinking about the things which need to be done before letting the family loose on it. I have no idea how the partition(s) will be set up when it arrives but I do know enough about FAT and VFAT to know that a single 1GB partition is not a good idea! I thought in terms of two or three partitions of around 200-300 MB for the time being, with the rest of the space "in store" for later, but I'd appreciate advice. S/W will be Win 3.11 for the time being; Win95 later when I'm happy that all the software and drivers I want to use will be 95-ed. Applications will be Lotus SmartSuite, Internet/BBS access and MIDI sequencing via something like Cakewalk. -- Henry Law <>< hjl@thelaws.demon.co.uk Manchester, England
