Nick,

Thanks for your input...paid work is at a minimum right now, and I've been wanting to replace this 4+ year old computer for awhile, but can't justify it at the moment. But I'll check into possibilities here.

>The amount of space you describe as having free certainly sounds like you should get some extra space.

Oh, I've adjusted to dealing w/it! just have to be prudent.


>A little extra memory on the same purchase also helped.
Yes, I've thought about that too...

My notebook is 50% faster, so this desktop really should be on it's way out, but...I'll see how the next 6 months go...J
