Hard Drive almost full

nanook

Can anyone help.

I have a MBP, with a 120 GB hard drive. It is telling me that I have only 25gb remaining and I was hoping to load Windows and run office as I am sick of having to email my pc if I want to edit excel.

I have to admit I have alot of photo's and music oh the mac but when I hooked up an 80gb ipod and ensured that all music and photos were synced it only showed about 12 -16 gb in use (can't remember the exact figure but it was there abouts)

My question is, I have no major applications on the mac other than what came with leopard plus i-life 2008 and the regular updates.

Is there anyway I can see what is taking up the space and possibly clear some of the crap off.

If anyone has advice please remember I am newbie at this.

You don't need Windows for something simple as that

You could use

• Google Docs
• Open Office
• Microsoft Office for Mac

OmniDiskSweeper is an application that will tell you what all the files on your mac are using up.

I use a thing called WhatSize. It's really good,, tells you what's taking up the space.

Aye, +1 for Google Docs.

Might I recomend Neo Office. Based on open office but its better adapted for macs, no need for x11

Open Office 3 which is currently out runs natively on macs so there's no need for Neo Office
