Most developers are not concerned with file sizes because it isn't a concern seeing as how we have more and more of it. A good compression tool will do the trick. I can't recommend one because I'm usually unpacking instead of packing.

To add to this question, how efficient is the Mac in terms of file sizes? I find a lot of Windows files get enormously huge and my hard drive disappears quickly. lolSara ----- Original Message ----- From: Ginny To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 10:39 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] more hard drive questionsHi there. Thanks so much for your help with the hard drive capacity. I found it…it says that the capacity is 97 gs…so what would you guess that the advertised capacity was when I purchased it? (I know the actual capacity is usually less than the advertised capacity.) Also, since I’m running bootcamp and Windows, is the 97 that the Mac is showing just part of my hard drive, or is it the whole thing? It says I have only 27 gs available still, and I didn’t think I had taken up that much space on the Mac side, so I thought that Windows might be included in that. Any thoughts you have would be great. BTW, I have a 13-inch MacBook that I bought from the Apple store last Fall. It has 2 g ram and the processor speed is 2.16 ghz (I think.)Thanks much. Ginny
