Hi all,

New to OSX, ppl here have been great helping me with my iTunes Qs, here is another one...
I got a Mac Mini with the 80 gig HD. I have put some music on it (under 1 gig worth, and no apps yet even), and it is showing 63 gigs available. Is it possible the OS is using that much space? (80-63). Is there like a huge clip art file somewhere I can delete?

Thanks,
TG

A standard 80gb drive will format to about 73 gb of actual usable space (Mac or PC). So, it appears you probably have about 10gb in use ... not the 17gb that it seems.
