Also, I assume the wastage you speak of has to do with the disk space

I am quite new to the Mac and would like to ask, exactly how is the click
performed? I mean, you say route the mouse to VO, turn off VO and then do an
option click, but you don't say how to perform the click. Are you using an
actual mouse, a trackpad? I don't have a mouse, just a trackpad, so
function. However it is well worth the money.
Hope that helps...
