I hear you, I have a 6 year old laptop that I am trying to make survive for another year. No use replacing the HD in such an old machine, an external drive defeats the convenience of portability, and space is at a premium.
Drop the Garritan and Aria Player. The Garritan sounds are heavy and will free up plenty of room, especially if all you need is another year and can deal with General MIDI playback. I got rid of all my unused printer definitions too and saved a bunch of space on my laptop, but discovered that I lost the ability to plug into a guest printer, so I reinstalled them. (I am on a Mac.)
