I got asked yesterday whether a client had enough disk space on their 1ghz TiBook. 15GB free space! 60GB total capacity. It wasn’t too long ago that 1 GB was the distant horizon of disk drives, nowadays 1 GB is the new 1 megabyte. So it goes.
Still, 1 GB is not an inconsiderable amount of room. I told them to relax and let me know when they were down to less than 5 GB. Maybe then it might be time to think about increasing capacity. Even then, there’s lots of room to be found by optimizing the drive, removing old files, removing unused cache files, deleting duplicates and things of that nature.
I think the real motivation for the question…they wanted a new MacBook and needed an excuse to get one.
