40 Megabytes - Luxury lad, I remember the first Unix box that I used we had
10 MB fixed and 10 MB removable and we ran the entire company off that!

The above is a true record of fact - even if in Python speak.
(PDP-11 with 1MB RAM, some 10 staff)

Anyway: do you want it ? I will be in London (nr Liverpool St)
prob Thursday or next Monday.

I have found an 82 GB one.
None of them have run for a couple of years, so me wiping them will be a
test of them working.
