The Scratching Post

Quasi-related. My hard drive? only 60GB with only 52GB available off a workable partition.

I've managed to always get close to quota, but how I do so without bricking is beyond me. I've worked off 1GB of free space for the better part of last year and this is how Windows congratulates me.
