This question has been asked before but I still am uncertain what I should do.

--Just got a new 100 GB HDD for my G4 Sawtooth. The old 60 GB (which is going 
to another Mac) has three partitions: one for OS's and applications; one for 
data; and a scratch volume. I am presently running 9.2.2 but plan to switch to 
10.3.9 as my main OS on this machine during the next week or so.

I will still be using "Classic" for some apps like PageMaker and Illustrator 
but will be running somewhat older OS X native versions of InDesign, PhotoShop 
and MS Office (thanks Swaplist).

Daily backups of all data to another drive is essential.

The OS's, Apps and utilities can be backed up to DVD's and/or another drive 
as needed when changes are made.

Soooo.......... Should I continue with my three partition system (I don't 
like the desktop clutter) or just have everything on one 100 GB volume???

Any thoughts? --glen (diget mode)

PS. I'll catch any replies Tuesday morning, assuming I still have electricity 
after the approaching Nor'easter sails by tonight and tomorrow morning.
