Hi Don, Thanks for the help. I didn't know about the bug, so when you wrote that disk sizes were reported inaccurately, I was worried that I didn't have as much space as I thought on other drives. I'm probably going to get a Microdrive soon, and it's nice to know about this in advance so that I'm not confused later. Maria
