3) While it is apart would it be worthwhile increasing my hard
drive from 40gig and would a faster drive be possible?
Possibly but taking apart an iBook is not a job for faint hearts.
Sorry, I misread your post. Yes, up to a point. It's fairly easy to
replace a hard drive on an iMac and not much harder to replace the CD
drive. However there's only so much money worth throwing at an old
computer. You may be better off selling your old iMac on eBay and
buying a newer model, which will have other advantages like a faster
processor, etc.
4) While I am doing all this is it worth upgrading from 10.2.8 to
10.3 or 10.4 or shall I just get a new machine?
The best investment you could make is in RAM. For any version of OS X
you really need at least 384MB and the more, the better.
