Mine is OSX 5GB, OS9 1GB, Swap partition 1GB (but I've not been able to reliably get the swap files to be on the swap partition since 10.1), everything else 73GB. The problem for me really is the swapfiles, as I often have so many applications open that there are 4 to 6 swap files. Maybe I should just concentrate on getting the swapfiles moved over to the swap partition. Bill | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 28.
