August,

There is 180 GB free on the 250 GB HD.

In August 2007 I downloaded AusLogics Disk Defrag.

Its Log shows that I used it just once on the C: drive in June 2009 and
I had 191 GB free at that time.

If I keep at the average of just adding 5.5 GB onto the drive per Year I
will fill it up in 32 Years.       ;-)    ;-)

I mentioned above "the first five years", I just checked and saw that I
got the computer in July 2006 which is only just a little bit over Five
Years, isn't it?

I didn't mean to exagerate(sp?) how old the box was.
