hey some advice would help a great deal.... I still am currently an OS9 user...D'OH!...... I *really* am finally getting a G4 ibook, I think a minium one with only a 30 gig harddrive... my question is as follows... (I think I asked a simialr one before , but as thies is getting closer I am wondering more n more!) I have hear the minimum size drive (partition) that OSX can comfortably run on is 10 GB is this true? and if so if I partition the (30 GB) drive roughly in half say 15 GB and almost 15 GB will OSX run smoothly and can I still fit some Apps on there so I can use the other Partition for writing files to? mostly this machine would be used for recording Audio. I plan in the near future on getting a External Firewire drive to also use to dump files ... and of course getting a 1 GB RAM chip in it to max the RAM to 1.25 GB. any other and new info or suggestions would be super cool! thanx bunches!  -- Ian aka Archival Audio
