 Over the years using a 30 meg hard drive on my coco, I never did get more 
than about 20 megs used up. I had stuff in there from the old BBS days along 
with just about everything OS9, personal stuff, dynacalc spreadsheets and 
more.

 I think now that I have a lot of files from those days copied to a CD and 
they no longer reside in my coco, I could probably be happy with about ten 
megs... providing I don't get involved in gaming and try to save every game 
there ever was onto it.

 Right now, I have about fourteen megs used on that drive. But, I still have 
my old BBS on it and a lot other stuff that I could remove, but I don't need 
to

That's MY story.
