In 1984 floppies were only 360kB...  Sure IBM introduced the 1.2MB =
floppies that year, but it was late in the year when the machines =
started showing up, and it was a few years before they were in wide =
spread use.

Nothing to do with the force of your argument, just a historical =
footnote from someone who lived through the time and used the 1.2MB =
floppies as a cheap replacement for the 400kb "quad" density disks I had =
to use up until that point for the RX-50 drives in my DEC Rainbow, and I =
could do that until I was actually in college.
