Back in the old days when the big (40MB shared by 35 people) hard drives on the DEC PDP-11 RS/TS system reached 80%, we got warning messages from the IT folks. If usage got above 90%, we received personal visits who "helped" us "audit" our usage. Translation: "Let's see what you can delete." On rare occasions when we hit 99%, they started deleting things on their own. This is know as the "Next time they'll pay more attention" principle. Disk space is so inexpensive now that I try to keep the disks half empty or more. So far, with two 120GB drives, I've succeeded in doing that. k> Windows doesn't even like to defrag without 15-17% free space. I can k> imagine the performance issues one would encounter with a 95% filled HD. Doesn't Windows start carping when free space drops below 85% or so? I may be remembering something that didn't occur, but I seem to recall some version of Windows grumbling about this. -- Bill Blinn Technology Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - 2/20/2004 at 7:33 AM Technology Editor, Newsradio 610 WTVN, Columbus, Ohio Using The Bat! v2.02.3 CE on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Random thought: You can only do software at a certain speed, and software development is not something you can do in six months. -- Steve Ballmer If not for these words, this line would be blank. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
