Hello, Andy.


-=> Replying to a message of Andy Roberts to Linda Proulx:

I have OS/2 Warp 4 (with FP11 and the latest TCP/IP fix), Netscape 4.61, SIO,
JDK 1.1.8 and all sorts of odds 'n ends installed here on an old Quantum
Fireball 540MB HD and I currently have... 277,266,432 bytes free.  So, that's
not too shabby considering I have a really messy hard drive.

Note that everything else is stashed on my 2.1GB Samsung HD... which has, as I 
write, 1005MB free.  I don't like it getting below a gig free; one never knows 
when one needs the space.  I do have to say that using HPFS on both drives has 
made it very efficent indeed.

Later,
Sean
