My rule of thumb is that if I'm down to my last 10% of the drive, it's time to buy an additional drive OR start archiving stuff. :) There's a lot of factors at work to determine, but I've found that keeping at least a gig of space free will prevent any serious problems with temp files and so on. _Chas_ Moderator, rec.arts.drwho.moderated FAQ: http://www.otherleg.com/radwm-faq.html Charter & Styleguide: http://www.thecabal.org/~radwm/ Discussion group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modish/ Quotefile nominations: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
