...the external hard drive on the PC or the Mac and it must be reformatted. The model MacBook that I own only has a 120GB hard drive, the newer module MacBook which I have given the spec for above is now [unfortunately for me] 160 GB. After making the memory transition and adding a great deal of applications: - • Adobe Suite • Macromedia Dreamweaver • Macromedia Fireworks • Cinema 4D • Hewlett Packard Package [Printer] • Kodak Easyshare [Camera] • Microsoft Office 2004 [Inc. Word, PowerPoint, Excel, MSN Messenger] I am now left with a little over 80GB of space on my hard drive, therefore 40GB of space has been taken up by the above applications, the applications and the items in the operating system, from the spec, and finally plus 9.28GB on iTunes.
