Wow. I just bought Jaguar and put it on my little iMac, with the 6 gig drive. That sure don't leave much space left over for anything else! 2 gigs just for the OS, a gig free. Clearly Jag isn't intended for older machines. So should I be looking for some kind of external drive? Not having firewire, seems like that would be pretty slow. Hmm. Any suggestions? I have never looked into external drives. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
