Betty: The problem has not really become close to that point (mainly due to the outstanding design of the Amiga OS). If you have two or more floppies then the solutions are simple. You put some of the 'overflow' directories on another disk and make the appropriate 'assigns.' Of course batch files (preferably Arexx style, naturally) can be used to make necessary software configuration changes to allow running programs that require additional files. The new 'inteligent path command' will make thing even easier for floppy users. Secondarily though, an HD is essential for practically any serious computer user. Even the Incredibly Bad Machines are almost infinitely worse without one! The Amiga's multitasking nature makes the convience of an HD even more important though there are lots of 'work arounds.' 73, bill
