Is there any way to determine various file sizes in Mac OS X 10.3? My buddy claims his HD is filled up despite his continual efforts to purge most of his dowloaded music, videos, and pictures. Is there a feature where you can easily search the largest file sizes on the computer?

Clearly, I know very little about Mac OSX. But I would really like to keep up the perception that I know stuff.

There's an app called WhatSize (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13006) that can help you find out what's taking up your disk space.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
