Hi Art:

I am rather concerned about the specification of 5 1/4" drives. We have 
extensive experience with reliability issue on our current 8" floppy 
drives and I do not believe that a device as small as those specified 
can reliably maintain such a storage density as 360 KB. Further, the 
necessity for memory space in access of 32 KB is extravagant and an 
obvious ploy to enhance revenue by spec'ing features that are patently 
unnecessary. No know commercial application comes close to consuming 
this amount. Consider for example our state of the art PDP 8 which 
requires less than 8 KB to perform the most complex of calculations. The 
marketing gurus at Verio of gone to fare this time.
