Reasonable for those who can afford to get their hard disks trashed whilst the bugs are being worked out. I'll wait until it's finished, thank you...
On the other hand, I have plenty of floppies I can afford to trash, and I usually leave a trashable floppy in the drive as they're much quieter that way, at least on the machine in my bedroom...
Best wishes from Riley.
