I'm not Andre but I have a 500 MHz CD-R iMac, which I've been running off an 80 gig AcomData FireWire HD for several months (OS X 10.2.2). The internal 20 gig HD is noisy and I just never get around to dragging it to a shop for AppleCare to replace the HD. Patrick Draine -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
