GrandPerspective
This is a tip for Mac users.
Lately, my son and I have been working on separate video projects. As a result, hard drive space has been at a premium. GrandPerspective is an open source utility that graphically shows what’s taking up space on a hard drive. When I first heard about it I thought it sounded goofy but after giving it a try it’s great. (Pictures work for me.) It showed me quickly what was taking up all the space on my drive. Some of the files I didn’t need and so just deleted them. Others I burned to dvd. I went from using 96 gigs on my hard drive to 55 in no time. It’s well worth checking out.
