Why you need a 60gig Drive on your MacBook

My last laptop, the Dell Latitude, only ever had a 40gig HDD, and that was fine. My new macbook has a 60. Great I'll be able to do video editing and everything.......... WRONG.. It's always annoyed me that I've never had much space on the machine. So tonight I get out the Maths books and have a look how much storage is used up by the MacOS.

I firstly looked in the "Library Folder" - this was 12.5 gig
I looked in the "System Folder" - this was 1.5gig

That's already 14 GIG!!!!!!

I look on my current Windows XP machine that I've had running for over a year, and the C:\Windows folder is only 4GIG. That has all my drivers and everything from a year!

That's  pretty crappy to have 14gig lost automatically on system..

55gig available
- 14 gig for system
41 gig available
- 5 gig for programs
36 gig available
- 3 gig pics
33 gig available
- 3 music
30 gig avilable

What a waste... I need to go buy an external drive already..
