Roy, this is good news. FON's observations mirror mine exactly.
Earlier this week, the 100 GB 2.5" laptop HD arrived. I
installed it in my Dell C600, 850 MHz Intel, 512 MB laptop. I
used Edubuntu to initialise the hard drive and do the installation.
My first observations were that it boots up considerably faster
than Windows 2000. Whilst browsing the Internet, I downloaded
and viewed Word files involving the Microsoft courtroom documents
and other issues.
Open Office 2.2 had no difficulty immediately opening those
documents and properly displaying them.
It is as though a load was lifted off my computer and now
performance is definitely adequate. I do not need to buy another
laptop to do my work.
The bloat is gone.
