It's probably also worth considering a couple of alternative solutions: (1) archive old/unused stuff from the current drive to e.g. DVD to make more free space (probably the cheapest option) (2) add a cheap external drive instead of upgrading the internal drive (probably better value and certainly quicker/easier than upgrading the internal drive) Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
