O.K. I believe I have Disk Copy on the HD, there should be plenty of space, it's a 1 GB drive. I had 7.5.5 on it when I originally received the machine at the fleamarket. Is there any reason to consider only using 7.5.3 over the 7.5.5 upgrade? Primary uses will be web surfing/email, and I'd like to put whatever version of Photoshop it can handle (I know it ain't fast, but whatever) to do basic photo editing and display. Also would be nice to have Quicktime (version?) to play audio CD's while messing around.
