hey everybody- i'm looking for advice on setting up my mac for laptop djing. right now i have a 12" powerbook G4 1GHZ that i would like to use for laptop djing, probably with ms pinky. i would like to know how minimal i can get it. i only have a 40 gig hd in it, so space is limited. i would like to know what is essential to run just a dj program. what files can i get rid of, what programs don't i need, etc. i'm talking barebones stripped, focused solely on djing, no intertubes, no logic, no garageband, i can store my tracks on a thumb drive if need be, but i don't use them so i don't know how much space they really have. thanks for the info, especially from any hardcore geeks/wizards out there. peace!

For whatever it's worth I definitely understand your desire to keep things as minimal as possible but a portable hard drive really doesn't take up much space and if the FW cable is long enough, you can put it on the floor under the table you are working at. I drag mine around to all my gigs....Just don't forget to take it with you. One time I left my HD at home and a radio station gig started about 10 minutes late as a result of my having to race back across town to get it (duh!).
