Thank you to all who offered sympathy and suggestions. The old one is back in the freezer in hopes that I can swap a few more files over but David took pity on my frazzled state and armed with your suggestions, nipped into Future Shop and picked up a 500GB Western Digital My Book to go with the 250 GB one we have that's still working. The computer itself has 80GB which is nowhere near enough.
Heh, and now I'm remembering our first computer in 1997, which had a gigantic 4 GB hardrive.
Heh. Heheheh.
