IBM will
        probably send you a free subscription to AS/400 magazine if you
promise
        to only use 20% of your disk space...>

        I SHOULD have realized that !! Now that you mention it - duh on
my part
        <BG>

        What experiencedo you (or anyone out there) have with moving to
the new
        8gb drives ? This REALLY cuts down on "arms"... We are going to
upgrade,
        and are probably going with the 4gb drives...
