where do you put your data? what will you do if your windows needs grow? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Cavendish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 07, 2008 1:09 AM Subject: Re: How Much Memory Do I need?
Hi Tifanitsa, I've given Windows 20 GB on my hard drive as I wanted to keep as much as possible for Mac OS. I have Ms Word and Excel installed and Jaws, and everything seems to be running smoothly - fingers crossed. I am careful not to install other applications though. Ms Word is essential for me to read and write in Greek. Hope this helps a little.
