windows makes messes and does not clean them up. it creates empty temporary files and doesn't keep track of data blocks so creates holes in the data structure. 20 should be plenty.

And could I just set it to not update? Like I said, all I really want it for is Greek internet access. So I'll just be installing my screenreader/s (Hal and NVDA), WebbIE and Realplayer 8. I might stick in Cicero or Kurzweil for scanning, whichever does the better job and takes up less room, just incase I need something quick to read a book or something. Could I use wireless with it right? I mean, considering that my Macbook has wireless built-in and that I'm using it on the Leopard side? And again, lol, how do I actually start Bootcamp?
