That's so rare one of the very few poets left. :) Na, na, na, na, na, na I've got more games that you!! At least 400, my son can't make up his mind sometimes. I also own a original Nintendo with 48 games, an SNES with only about 10 games and an N64 with about 12 games, to keep them busy so they can let me do my work! I only have about 150 Mp3 so you won there ;) Well this is frustrating, I know the feeling about not having anything big enough to backup with. Before investing in OS X, get a Jaz drive backup in Jaz disks, you'll need more than 100 zip disks so I wont even go there. Better to be safe than sorry. BTW why do you want to upgrade? Is there really any good reason to do so, maybe you need to use some software only compatible with OS X? You can also buy (sorry but empty handed, you're deserted) two 9GB harddrives (or one 9GB and something like 6GB) and all I can suggest is eBay. SmallDog & MacResQ may not even have what you need, who knows? If you know how to hook everything internally you're ok but if you don't, then you'd need to get external and that's a load of more money. If I was you and really cared that much for my files (I do! my 8500 has copies of everything in an extra harddrive but I only have about 10GB of stuff) I'd do it. Internal is the most echonomical choice. Liliana -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
