David, you are quite right. I have chosen not to store much data other
than on an external drive, that's why. Otherwise you are right: I
would have needed more, much more spcace. I had a feeling Tifanitsa
didn't wish to store much data under Windows either.
With best wishes

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.
With best wishes

over
many years has been that if you don't leave enough room, it fails.
You may
never need half your drive but unless you need a lot of room for
your mac
stuff, providing a lot of room for windows is a good idea.

lol I figured that one was pretty obvious. But do I really need to
split the hd in half, considering the small amount of space that I'll
need for Windows and my software?

Ok guys. I finally gave in and bought the full version of Windows
XP
Home from ebay to put on my Mac. This lack of Greek on the part of
Leopard/VoiceOver was driving me bonkers. So I'm gonna install XP
with Bootcamp so I don't have to worry about drivers and such. Now
here's my question. The only software that I will be installing on
the Windows side is the WebbIe browser, Hal and/or NVDA for my
screenreader and possibly Realplayer 8 Basic. I just want to be
able
to read Greek webpages and take my lessons. So should I use the 5
or
32 gb option for memory? I might save some music as well, but I'm
gonna do that on a usb thumb drive, once I get one, so I can
transfer
it over to the Mac side. The rest will be little text files of my
lessons.
Sas efharisto/thanks,
Tiffanitsa
