Thats 32GB, and shes worried about a few MB here or there saved by trimming down XP :p

Less movies / music methinks ;)

746253 2009-02-10 11:23:00 Funny you say that! Cause she has 24gb of only documents.

Its for a whole school...so that may be why

746254 2009-02-10 19:15:00 I think its time to invest in a 3.5" USB HDD then :D

Plug it in when she needs the docs, dont plug it in when she doesnt, plus its fully USB-powered, so no external power-brick!

PLUS she will need another USB HD for backups. Tell her unless she doesnt mind
possibly loosing everything (theft,hardware failure), she needs 2 copies, one HD kept in a safe place.
You would be wise not to touch that thing untill you know that everything is backed up. If anything goes wrong, you may get the blame.
In hindsight, perhaps the EEEEEEE may not be the best option given the 24G of Doc's. There are some nice micro laptops with HD's now.
