Peter, thanks for the advice on used drives.

Well, the Exchange quote had 1TB of storage (WAY overkill in my opinion -
about 1.25GB/user!) and I requested a 400GB quote with the iSeries DSD.
We'll have between 700 and 800 users and will probably either use the iNotes
for Outlook as a standard or the Web Access. With 400GB, that's still 500MB
per user (at 800 users). I believe we could even go with half that to begin
with - or less. I've been "volunteered" to help our PC guys convert all of
our users to Windows 2000 and that includes backing up their email. The
largest email file I've backed up is 60 MB and most of that file was in the
Trash folder! I know that some users will "need" maybe 500MB, but the vast
majority may use only 10MB.

I guess this is just my rant for the day...
