Please can anyone advise: is it possible to install a larger HD? If so, rough costs? I had this sort of problem once, then I realised I hadn't emptied the trash. Just a thought.

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 Bob -- Dr Paul Weaver Fremantle, Home of the Dockers Western Australia. http://www.livejournal.com/users/fremantlebiz/calendar -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

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. Cheers, Glen Low --- pixelglow software | simply brilliant stuff www.pixelglow.com aim: pixglen
