>>Zebedee, In the olden days (early 80's) all PCs had 2 floppys
(5.25") and it was quite convenient vs. one floppy drive.
The main value was copying one disk to another without having
to copy to the hard drive, remove the source, and put in the
copy floppy.<<

Wrongo. The reason they had 2 floppy drives is that they DIDN"T HAVE A HARD DRIVE. Hard drives were very expensive and not prevelant in most machines until the late 80's!
