linux.com — If Parkinson's Law for computers holds true, then no matter how much disk space you have, it will get used up. If you're already feeling a pinch, consider using a disk space analyzer tool to see what's eating your space.

I don't think you owned that computer in 1997. Pentium IIs were barely reaching the 300 MHz mark in 1998.You should buy some better memory.

Don't forget the professional video editing people. They can fill up space pretty flippin' quick too.

Why would you want/need a disk space visualizer for the Mac? It is the only operating system that DOES IT RIGHT! It allows you to calculate the amount of space in individual folders as an inherent part of the OS. XP had the benefit of third party FolderSize, but MS stupidly removed the API that allows it to work in Vista.

You can't, it's irrational.

This is why I conserve. I always let myself have a minimum of 60 GB, if it ever goes lower I get an external harddrive.
