Welcome to the club, Larry. Remember all those USP drives I mentioned
a few hundred msgs ago today?
Well, I didn't count the ten IDE and SCSI drives I have in the two G4
towers, the G3 tower, the G3 laptop, and the MacBook, nor the nine
internal drives that were removed from previous G4 & G3 computers.
None of which can be scrapped because I know I KNOW there are some
files on those 2 GB, 4.5 GB, 6 GB, 10 GB, 40 GB, and 300 GB drives
that I will be looking for someday, soon SOON.
I did throw out the 340 MB to 830 MB drives I had held on to for so
many years. I imagine these will go that route eventually. As soon as
I scrounge the data off them!
As far as the internal drives on the aluminum framed iMacs — from what
I've been told, they are only accessible by using suction cups to
remove the front lucite (glass) cover, then the LCD screen.
Perhaps someone on list knows a better way.

On a related note, I've been told by various people that swapping
harddrives in the flat panel iMacs is significantly less trivial than
doing so in their laptops. I haven't researched it any more than that,
so I just throw external drives at the problem. Just like my solution
to running out of space on my Linux desktop box is to just throw
another SATA drive at it, rather than doing something sensible like
delete unused and obsolete files.
