Even after I've installed every piece of development software I will ever need, ripped all my DVD movies to HD, plus my MP3 collection, I'm still using less than 30% of the (220GB) storage space on my PC.

Just wait for the next version on widows. I am sure it will require at least 100 gigs. Fucking programs seem to be purportional to HD space.

I remember running a massive picture section download 50 line BBS on 60 megs, with the bbs software, windows, and crap loads of files. Most anything could be stuffed on a floppy, hell odds were you could stuff 20 or 30 programs per floppy... Now see whats happened. Extra space = bad wastefull coding.
