<div>Hi Paul:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Doing text only, 2g fine.</div>
<div>Doing simple graphics, pictures, audio, 20g probably ok (comfort at about 80g).</div>
<div>Doing video - think 200g (and have a good DVD writer, a 1g flash drive, USB2, and plans for FDDI and a fast terabyte or two if you think HD).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Whatever you get now you will probably add to in the future. Understand the partitioning and volume management processes and you will do very well.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My 2 cents,</div>
