Hello Diane,

Don't worry! Up from 2002 all (desktop) Macs have LDS (no, not LSD, haha) =
Large Disk Support. So you will have no limit.

Today, on the "g3-5-list at googlegroups.com", one of our Top Geniuses answered
these questions in a more complete and advanced way. FYIO: I'll forward this
posting after this message.

HTH,
