I'm not new to macs, I'm new to trying to take control of my machine.
I'm sick of getting kicked around by PC people, G4 gearheads, and my own
ignorance.
I do (mostly 2-color) design work for little tiny nonprofits. Read: I'm
kinda poor and work on the small end of design file size. (I guess I'm a
low-ender in the design universe, too.)
I use pagemaker 6.5 and photoshop pretty intensely, sometimes
Illustrator--for which I pretty much have to shut everything else down.
My machine's been locking up a lot lately. I have room to add RAM to
reach the 512MB max, space in the front panel for another drive . .
.(current hard drive is 1 GB).
Anyway, I just wanted to hear from other users of this model/series, like
what's the MOST I can do to/with this? I'd like to stay low-end, and get
my act together with knowing how work on my own machines, but not if this
one's just not going to let me do the work I need to do to stay in
business, you know? I suspect, judging from your devotion to the
old-school* that this thing can do a lot more than I know it can/the
salesguys are willing to disclose.
On my wish list are burning CDs and improving my internet experience so
downloading burnable material doesn't take so long.
Can you help? Thanks!

*Hey, my $200 classic II's in the closet behind me. It got me through
college in the comfort of my own cramped apartment, not slogging back
and forth to the computer labs on campus, and the horrific cacaphony of a
dozen dot matrix demons screaming at once.
