obsolete these days. Yesterday I began thinking about getting a new hard
drive for my machine. When I bought it 2 years ago, I thought 4 or 6 gigs
was plenty, now I'm looking at 20 gig and trying to convince myself that I
shouldn't go for a 30 gig'er!!

<One caveat about the AMD chips, made without judgement: FrameMaker often
won't run on them and Adobe doesn't support FrameMaker on them.
