Actually, the smallest standard hard drives these days are around 60 GB. I think Mac users tend to use less disk space than Windows users, simply because Mac users don't have all those games that take up several GB on their own. Personally, I have a 120 GB hard drive, split between OSX (26 GB), Fedora (25 GB), and XP (60 GB), and I would say that I have about 25 GB of total free space.

Yes, I do look different. The more I look at it, the more I realize how ugly and unflattering this picture is.

There is no official PC support for Mac. OSX Intel will most likely run on your PC, but it might not work properly, especially if you have anything other than ATI or Intel graphics.

Do you have a shiny new Intel Mac? Are you upset because you can't run Nethergate or Exile, as well as myriad other classic Mac programs? Well, take a look at this. I haven't actually tried it yet because I'm still trying to get hold of a OS 9.0 installation CD. A friend of mine has one and is looking for it, but obviously, someone got it to work!

Update: The link given for TomeViewer doesn't work, but this one does.

My high school blocked all email access on its computers because someone used their email to infect the network with a virus. If you wanted to send your homework home, you had to buy a floppy disk from the shool for 50 cents. It was also against school rules to bring files in from home on any form of media. We all did it though. :P

Lucky for you. I still wince a bit whenever I watch The Two Towers. The other two movies are good and close enough to the books, but that one was very unfaithful to Tolkien. Elves at Helm's Deep rankle me. :P
