Michael,
You'd be surprised (I was). I wish now I'd gotten more than my 15 gb,
even though I'm only using about a third of it so far.
What those giant drives do is open up options. OS X is very
space-hungry. Ditto Photoshop files. And most of all, digital camera
shots and ESPECIALLY digital movies, such as those you'd edit with
iMovie -- which our machines WILL run.
As long as it's cheap, it's a nice luxury. Just like RAM. Which reminds
me of the wise words a colleague once shared with me:
"You can never be too thin, too rich, or have too much RAM." (Unless, of
course, you're Karen Carpenter.)
