Re: [libreoffice-users] installed disc usage for LO

i remember renting a ibm 360 /195 system from a corporation. at night to 
do payroll

RPG.. we needed more disk drive space.  it had 250k drive and we needed 
a 500k drive
the technician came, opened the drive, removed the metal piece that gave 
access to the
other 250k already on the drive.. for a price increase of $1450 a month..
