LEM G4books list is not very active. (Low subscriber-base?) What list(s) are best places to sink/find/share information about this particular computer? -- see specs, in signature. My major unanswered questions now are: 1. Advice on cost-conscious selection of hard-drive for internal replacement of original 10 gig drive. i.e. Something less than 100 gig is fine. Everything I see is bigger than that and more $ than I need for *internal* drive. If/when I need more than 100 gig drive, I would use external storage for that. 2. Advice on selecting fan/cooling pad for under laptop. There seem to be so many models. Lightweight and compact (portability) is a desired feature, even if I need 2 units: one for briefcase and a better one for regular use. This Mac is my only working Mac, and I don't foresee another Mac soon, unless I resurrect something even older that it on-hand. So, I need advice on optimizing this machine for reliability and performance. Want to get most life out of this computer, until reason to replace with something else. Thanks.

Capability to add usage of Speech-dictation software (Mac Speech iListen) is a next goal, i.e., after hardware upgrades. Intended hardware changes now are likely to be "the last time" of opening this computer (barring unplanned necessity). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
