Upgrade question...

[Pat D. Stephens]

I know most, if not all, of this has been discussed in earlier 
conversations, but I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.  I don't do 
games, just ordinary things like PS, word-processing, and other 
ordinary things.  I'm still running 9.1 on it, but am pretty sure I'll 
upgrade it to OSX as I'm running on my iBook.  With future developments 
on the horizon, I have a few questions...

My TiBook is G4, 400 and has to go in for an ajustment/alignment and 
the company doing the repair offers me an IBM drive replacement 30GB 
for a mere $159, plus $59 for the data transfer.  Also, I only have 384 
MB (256+128 MB) memory and they have  512 for $149 or 256 for $99.  
What would you do if you would one day hope to use it for Jaguar or 
such?  I do think the IBM is tempting, but then again, that's what CD's 
are all about, right?  What would you do?

Also, can I just move my 'delicate' files to a CD and then replace them 
upon return?

Thanks for your thoughts.  If you'd like, to avoid bandwidth issues, 
you can write me offlist, or on, as you choose.
