*raises hand*
I'm definitely going to have to get myself a Jaz drive... I don't have a
modem (my Internet connection is through Monash - I physically come down
to uni to login :), and of late, seem to have been doing many 20- to 30-
floppy transfers. (I remember getting a late beta of 1.1, and transferring
~90 disks from uni to home... :-)
'Course, I could always order a CD-ROM, I guess...
