A bite of the Apple

Well now here's the thing. Today took yet another visit to the Apple Store for a chat, reason being that Lizzie's computer was playing up,  I had managed to free quite a large chunk of hard drive space for her, but it was still looking very full something like 20% of space taken up with what apple calls other, I had a look on my new iMac only to find it also had 90gb of other, so a trip to the store seemed like a good idea. The salesman couldn't have been more helpful after a longish chat we decided that other must be something to do with the operating system, he suggested we took a look on their machines to see what space the almost virgin hard drives had. To our surprise they were not far off my findings something like 50gb on the iMac and 23gb on the MacBook Air. My conclusion to delete any unused apps and thoroughly clean up the install.

A very productive and interesting visit.
