Don’t know how many people reading this even have a macbook. Probably not many. I don’t personally know anyone who does. But anyway, this is t’internet and someone might be keen to know how I resurrected 4GB from my hard drive, which had previously been concerned with useless muck. Can’t remember how I got on to it. Either Digg or Lifehacker, but anyway - a very nice program called ‘Monolingual’ gets rid of extraneous language files that are sitting around doing a lot of nothing. It saved me 2.9GB - and I didn’t even go near the bit that removes non-Intel architectures from my computer.

Also, another clogger are the the 2GB or so of printer drivers that came with my computer. I was careful. I moved them all into a folder on my desktop prior to any deleting. Then I installed Gutenprint (formerly Gimp-Print), which worked much better with the old Samsung laser printer at work. Now I just have to see if it will also work with my home printer - an ancient HP LaserJet 6L - which I am convinced will continue printing until the end of time, or until people stop making drivers for it.

I have a Powerbook - I keep looking at Macbooks but Ruth slaps me on the head about the price and the fact that there is absolutely nothing wrong with my current Powerbook. So I am envious…
