	The Bernoulli Box uses X Meg removable cartridges. Thus, a
20+20 is a BB with two 20Meg cartridge drives.  The cartridges have
the same or faster access time than most hard disks.  20Meg cartridges
costs about $50 each (but hell, it's 20Meg!).

	Systems range from 5Meg drives to 20Meg drives and NO, you cannot
put 20Meg cartridges in 5Meg drives.

	The highest-end Bernoulli Box so far is one with an 80Meg Hard Drive
and two 20Meg cartridge drives (however, this may not be available for the
MAC).
