Dear patio, thanks for your advice to maintain at least 15% of disk space free, but allow me -and yourself- to LOL. Or
. The disk capacity of my Compaq laptop is 6 GB (no naught missing), which was a rather acceptable figure almost ten years ago. My work consists mainly of text processing and email correspondence with attachments every now and then, and it is allright for me. Plans for replacement are ready, just waiting for my Financial 50% to agree. Meanwhile, after wiping out temporary and garbage files yesterday, I have now more than 0,4 GB at my disposal! Half of what you recommend.
Take care.
