Hmm...  Weeelll...  You can probably reduce the disc space used quite a
bit by removing unneccessary ColourSynch profiles, PPD files, speech
synthesis software, and so on.  I *suspect* you could end up with a
System Folder of around 20-30MB if you were ruthless[1].

Having said that, have you considered getting a bigger HDD?  Even 160MB
would be a help, and when I was looking for a HDD for my Plus about 6-12
months ago, I placed a `WTB' ad in uk.adverts.computer and was offered a
160MB HDD for about �20 (from memory).

[1] I wasn't and my System Folder now takes 100MB disc space but it is
sitting on a 1GB HDD.
