"You are running dangerously low on disk space..."

...and we know we have a problem here. Currently our desktop has two hard drives, the main HD of 80GB which we regrettably partitioned to two, and an older HD from the previous PC of only 10GB.

Both are now reaching bursting point, and this because of pictures and music (from the iXus and ofr the iPod). We've even burned off some of our photos taken last year onto CDRs (in duplicate for some) but it's not helping.

We've even uninstalled a fair number of games, keeping the nostalgic ones like our DOS games which takes up minute space comparitively, the real-time strategy games and Heroes Of Might and Magic games. Even Diablo II got uninstalled early on!

Nevertheless. Looks like we should be getting a new hard disk. And an internal hard disk instead of a portable one, because the space is used to store our music files and we'll need iTunes to sync that with our iPods.

Sigh, it's gonna be a fair bit of work up ahead...moving files, organizing folders, especially the bit where we move music files from one place to another and need to update our iTunes regarding the file relocation ("The song could not be located because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?")...

Now to make sure the desktop can make it till we get a new hard drive.
