Well not really funny "funny", but funny. I read about that last night on the web. It has to do with System.log files. If you do a search for System.log with Visibility showing Visible and Invisible files you should get something that shows: System.log System 0.log system1.log If you open the folder these are in you should be able to do a Get Info on them, and you'll find one will be the missing size. Delete them, restart and things should be back to normal. Here is the info on it: <http://discussions.info.apple.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.68a64b1e/8> <http://discussions.info.apple.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.68a64b1e/40> Hope that helps!
