I just bought a box of 5 1/4" disks. On the side of the box, the
following easily-twisted statistic appears:
CAPACITY:
Unformatted 500 KB
IBM PC, PC XT Formatted 360 KB
So there you have it, folks -- don't format your disks, and get 140 KB
more space! I _knew_ the slow 1541 formatting process was a waste of time.
