-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Don't feel bad. I worked for West Publishing Company (they make law books) from '75 - '77. We had 3 strings (8 drives each) of IBM 3330's. That's 24 x 200MB / drive === 4.8GB. Today, you can put that and more in your shirt packet. Actually, you can put 2GB on you keychain for about $500. Sigh!!!
