Have finally appropriated my parents' old imac. Unfortunately, I haven't really engaged in any hardcore Mac use since OS 7 or so, so I'm a wee bit lost.
Oh, and if you look at the bottom of any window you open (double-click on the hard drive), it might list the hard drive space available (again, it does this on my version).
Oy. Wow. Sounds as old as my old Bondi Blue, and I've got the first ones that rolled off the line. Of course, I ran that on on 9.2, which doesn't eat as much of the processor.
If at all possible, you want to update that OS; 10.2 at least. It should be easy enough to scrounge up. The early (10.0) versions were seriously slow, and weird in some odd ways. 10.3 or even 10.4 would be good, but 10.2's where things got stable.
Let me know if you need more details or information or whatever.
The upgrade to 10.1 is free but not downloadable; I probably have the 10.1 update disc around here somewhere. You're better off going to 10.2 or later (10.4 is current) though.

More RAM is probably a really good idea, too.
