Nope, windows will automagically suck in all your free space eventually :)
To be honest, I'm not sure if it's service packs, updates, tmp files or
what... I've got a XP SP2 box right now at a client's place, 10 GB drive,
and it's got nuttin left. Cleared tmp files, windowsupdate uninstall
files/info, internet exploder, etc...I went through and whacked everything I
could think of manually. Still a 9+ Gb foot print. The thing hosts a dang
CAD printer and that's about it, c'mon MS... most of seems to be hiding out

in the windows folder, but it's so spread across the drive it's not feasible
to do much more on it short of a wipe/reload.

AALOL!! Hehe.... tennis ball.
OK, football. Well there's actually a THIRD type of "football" we play down
here. We have what's called "Aussie Rules" football, which is kind of half
way between the two footballs, and very similar to the Irish football. You
can run with the ball, but you have to bounce it every 10 paces, and you
can't throw the ball, you have to either kick it, or do a thing called a
"handpass" or "handball" where you hold the ball in one hand, and punch it
out of that hand with the other hand. Sounds a little wierd now that I'm
saying it, but that's how it works, oh and hence you're not allowed to just
drop the ball either. We refer to American football as Gridiron, European
football as Soccer, and our football as Aussie Rules, so...
New from B.L.U.E. the Gridiron Football. This mic is built like a tank, and
can take anything yo

t you have to shout "G'Day!" right as you're
doing it. The equivalent of our 1st-Down markers consists of two
crocs on the ends of a ten metre chain, and in recent years
each down has become known as an "Irwin"... example: "The Swans
are now on 2nd Irwin, with four metres to go". Smearing
Vegemite on your hands - in order to aid in catching the ball -
is allowed. A goal is referred to as a "Goana", and the object
of the game is to get the ball within ten metres of the end
zone (whereupon a small koala is substituted for the ball) then
kick the koala through the Goanaposts.
Do I have it right? :DThink of it as an extra layer of the table of contents, one you do not need.
