I recently got an iBook G4 not less than a week ago and I AM LOVING IT! With the G4 chip existing before 2000, the laptop performs quickly and works well for what I need. The problem is with a just-under 40 gb HD it is hard to stay away from "low hard drive space" warnings. I was thinking about getting a bigger external hard drive for system backups and using a 30 gb HD for media. Are there any other solutions for clearing up hard drive space or where to efficiently store the media on my hard drive?
Got a tip for us?

Id recommend getting both an external HD (USB/FW - your choice) and also upgrade your internal HD to one thats at least 120GB (My MacBook has a 120 and its too small, luckily it has 2.6TB externally). Upgrading the Internal HD, while a pain, is possible, and would mean you can put your existing 40GB HDD in an external case
