From: Matthew J. Weinstein <matt@UCLA-LOCUS.ARPA> According to the Dvorak column in April 30th InfoWorld: ``IBM has placed an order for 1.5 million digital audio disk players from an unspecified Japanese source. The order was made by the personal computer division in Boca Raton, Fla. ... Some speculate that IBM will put a complete UNIX system on a disk with hundreds of utilities. Others feel that IBM is about to decimate the competition by bundling a few hundred megabytes of free softwaare and a special new "win-dowing" operating system'' Dvorak calculates a capacity of 400 MBytes/side for these disks. Anyone know more? - Matt
