In 1995 I purchased a first-generation Apple Power PC 8100. At the time, I worked mostly with music and graphic files, and was certain that the 750 MB hard drive would serve me well for many years...

Today, I have a G4 Graphite model with two hard drives - the original 20 GB and an additional 80 GB. And they are fillin' up fast!

Now, a full hard drive isn't necessarily a bad thing... it means you've been happy and productive. You should be proud of yourself. On the other hand, files of all kinds are not getting any smaller, and frankly, its a pain offloading everything to zip drives and other media - or having to buy a new HD at a moment's notice.

We've rounded up eleven ways for you to give your hard drive a break, check them out in the Full Article!

Monolingual is a freeware application that will remove the unnecessary language resources installed by default in Mac OS X. This program will help in freeing several hundred MBs of disk space. For this to run, it requires at least a Mac OS C 10.3.9 and will also work on Mac OS X 10.4.

This was written by J. Schrier and I. Stein and is released under the GNU General Public License.

When using this program though, make sure to uncheck all the "Architecture" options. With Monolingual's help, one can now store files without having to bother oneself with the available disk space in one's Mac.
