John, if you can share where you get these from at a reasonable price, 
I'm sure everyone on the list will send you b-day cards.  :)  Whenever I 
look for them, the cost seems to be way more than the value of the Mac I 
want to stick it in!

I've had Mac OS partitions as small as 10-15 MB.  A minimal 7.1 install 
and Booter will fit.  OTOH, if you use 7.5 or higher, you better have 
50-70 MB.
