This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. LOTS of UNIX
systems need this much disk space, or so close to it there's not enough
room to do any serious work. SunOS taks up a BIIIG hunk of a 90 MB disk,
and isn't as big as AIX on our PS/2, which didn't have everything bundled
in that Marc Stephenson indicates QP says comes with the new release of
AIX for the 6000.

Actually, I've heard many more ridiculous things. Perhaps Mr. Dyer has
led a sheltered life??? 8^)
