Jen and I are both Mac people…for many reasons that won’t be discussed in this post! But Jen has a 12″ PowerBook with only a 30GB hard drive…it’s crazy that iPods can come almost three times that size…Jen’s hard drive was almost completely full and I just didn’t understand why. I had gone through the hard disk but never saw anything that stood out as a wast of space. I even convinced her to FINALLY delete her Deleted Items from her Entourage, but even after deleting nearly 1000 (not kidding) e-mails it barely made a dent.
So I went on to Mac Update and found a program called WhatSize…it’s free and does a fairly quick scan of the hard drive and lists all the computer files in order from biggest to smallest. After this it made it very easy to figure out the culprit on Jen’s computer. A 9 gig file that was a support file to an application she didn’t have anymore! Oops. Needless to say that after deleting this her computer had all the elbow room it needed! If you have a Mac this is a must have program.
Omni DiskSweeper works too. Most of the big files clogging my hard drive are templates and themes from all the Apple programs I have (Keynote, Pages, Final Cut or Adobe stuff). It’s this constant reminder to me that I have a Porsche of a computer, and am using it like a Pinto.
Justin, you got Matt started on Macs :)! Now he is saving up for one…but he keeps saying, “remember Justin’s computer? Thats what I want”.
Maisie’s beautiful…we miss you guys!
thanks for the tip my friend!
Mariah and I are meeting with a guy from CRM tomorrow to talk more about Scotland and nieucommunities. Pray for us! I am dreaming about a day in which we get to reconnect on the european continent and play some Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on Dreamcast for ol time sake.
