[QUOTE="techster82, post: 198049, member: 14842"] Someone with a little more experience in OS X may be able to answer those questions better than I can. I do know that OS X doesn't use drive letters like Windows. It has something to do with being based on Unix I believe in the fact that it mounts a drive. You still should be able to map a network drive, it just won't appear as your predisposed drive letter. As far as harddrive space, you may be correct. I have a 60GB hard drive in my iBook and after formating I was left with about 33GB after loading ilife 06, Microsoft Office, and iwork 06. [/QUOTE]
