Thanks Brian! Currently with Win7 installed it is using 40G. That is
without anything added. Windows sure has bloated. It probably will
just be a toy.... but like you said I might like it so much I may use it
more... I was looking at the 240G SSD. I also read the manufactures
usually reserve some space for bad sectors that are not included in the
capacity of the drive. Maybe I'll make it dual boot. I only have 4G of
RAM and do not want to spend any more on it.... so using VirtualBox
might not be an option... maybe...
