special 120 in external case [gives you somewhere to put your 80]  for  
$249.95 plus $10 postage

Hi
I have a 1.25 GHz G4 PowerBook with 80 GB HD.
10.3.9

I just can't cope with the lack of space.
I have deleted thousands of photos and a third of my iTunes library as  
well
as all my movies. (keeping full copies of iphoto and itunes on the  
family

iMac)
I still only have 5GB of free space.

Please can anyone advise: is it possible to install a larger HD?
If so, rough costs?

Thanks
Rod

I had this sort of problem once, then I realised I hadn't emptied the trash.
Just a thought.

Cheers, Paul.

Pursuing that line of thought ,
when using OS9.1 , with the Internal HD &  some external hard drives ,
sometimes you need to " rebuild the desktop " to RECOVER the 
free space

back into the index .

MAC OSX is supposed to not require that ,
 but where dual boot is used
I have seen some funny results that were cleared up by
" Rebuilding the Desktop " while running OS 9xxx.

However ,
Looking at Rod's first mail , it seems  that he has heaps of stuff he 
wants to keep
on the laptop , far more than the normal Hard Drive size , thus 
generating his call for

a bigger drive

If you want low prices, you can do little better than  
www.staticice.com.au -- it's like a Google (or Froogle) for  
Australian computer/electronic products. You can even narrow the  
search down to WA shops.
