[Cube] How to View HD Space Remaining?

[George Pepper]

If THIS isn't good for a laugh, nothing is.

You're right, as always, Laurie. 

The problem?

Simple.

Wait for it.










Here it comes...





















ALL MY FINDER WINDOWS WENT OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN!  ;^D

The exotic solution was, of course, to click on the little grean Aqua droplett.

Sheesh.

I'm so used to using my 23" CHD display that such a possibility never occured to me.

I don't need a bigger HD, I need a bigger brain! (And a 17" PowerBook).

LOL!
