My sentiments exactly! Although ... before leaping into getting a bigger drive it might be wise to walk through what your options are. I say this because I'm just a lurker here. I have no direct experience with the hard drives used in older Macs. While it has been my experience that (especially in recent years) the hard drive has become one of the *most* standardized commodity components used in a computer, it's always better to take the "measure twice, cut once" route, no? Another question to consider is how much money are you willing to throw at this machine to get it to work better? $0? <$10? <$20? <$30? ... et cetera ...
