Now I know what you meant when you said I needed more space, VM alone can take all of that (I didn't remember that detail about OSX), well I was fiddling around with my main drive the 9GB and managed to get 2GB free after the OSX installation, I will be getting a bigger harddrive within the next couple of weeks, can anyone give a link for something around the $59-69 price range? I'd do eBay but I want warranty. Thanks so much for the advice! Lil -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
