RE: Disk sizes and performance

*sigh*

All right...  my Macinstosh's battery (the one that keeps the clock running
when I power off) needs to be replaced.  And if I don't synch it to my
IBM-compatible I'm stuck in 1956.

1956 was a nice year.  I was 5 years old,  still not in school (I had to
'wait the extra year'), still bugging mom at home.
