It seems to run much better with a partition in the 2-4 GB range. Hers has 20 GB HD and we sized it 2, (9.2), 4 (10.1.5) and the balance, prox 14 for storage. (This volume size issue is also discussed in "OS X The Missing Manual") There's a 6.2+ download upgrade for Appleworks, makes a big difference in responsiveness under OS X. Just my experiences so far with X on an older i-Mac. Jack Russell -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
