That's hyperbole, at the very least. The original Pentium was released on March 22, 1993. 3 1/2" disks had been available for a while. While the first GB disk wouldn't be seen until 1995, 100MB drives were available. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
