Mysterious Disappearing HD Space

Dear Powerbook Geniuses, I've been working on my 1400cs to solve a really lousy battery-life problem (10 minutes to hard shutdown) and my latest effort was to reset the PRAM. After doing so I noticed that the HD space available indication showed about 110MB less on my 750MB HD than it was showing

I use MS Office 98 on my 3400 running 8.6 and on my 12in. G3. It is relatively fast on both. I don't know what changes to 98 were made when going to 2001. Upgrading the amount of RAM may be the answer if you can. Adding more memory for the application may help also. Be sure the other end saves

I believe that you need an enabler on both machines to load 7.6, or any new system. That is a little software program that may be on your cd now. However, after several experiences, be sure that you run HDSC Setup so that you update the hd driver. The system will not load if you don't and you
