Disk caches Available to Purchase

I had planned to write about the new international document standards ODA (Office Document Architecture) and SGML (Standard Generalised Markup Language) since I have been rather involved with these standards recently in terms of which standards meet our particular needs, and which applications actually support these standards. Since this work is ongoing, I finally decided that an article now would be premature. I was then rather at a loss as to the theme for this month's column. Fortunately a couple of loosely related questions arrived on the subject of disks at the same time as several people decided to corrupt a few floppy disks. So the theme for this column is a slightly technical look at disks and some ways to improve the use and avoid misuse of them.
