Bernie · **Pismo gets larger Hard drive -** 07-29-2006, 08:47 PM

So far all is going well. I am installing OS 10.4 on my Pismo with a refurbished 30 GB hard drive. It came with a 10 GB hard drive and the last upgrade by way of System Update almost didn't take as there was little room left. Hard to believe that most MP3 players have more storage than my dear ole Pismo.
The Pismo is a beautiful laptop that still has quite a following. It sells for more used than some laptops sell for new. Forty dollars was not a bad price to pay for a 30 GB hard drive for a lap top. It is great for cruising around looking for open networks.
I am not installing all of the foreign language translations and just the HP and Canon print drivers have been selected. Still Tiger comes on a DVD and not a floppy. Operating systems are resource hogs. Tiger does run well the Pismo. Garage Band can only handle about four tracks in real time thought. For the most part this will be my Daughters laptop and iTunes for her Blue Mini. With the added space I may look into getting Office (Student ed) for her school needs. So far AppleWorks has done it all.
Well this is my rant for the night. I hear music from the Pismo, time to return to the install.
