does the journal have a similar way of marking entries as "feel free to delete this if i need the space"? i think giving it hints as to what's expendable would be important. > > - no old-and-backed-up files we can safely remove? Prompt the user prompt the user, interrupting whatever they were trying to get done? that seems less than optimal. if my current UI-of-choice implemented "disk full" this way, i would have long ago created personal mechanisms help me organize my work into "very important, must save", "would be nice to keep, but i can recreate it if i want", and "don't really need it, but i won't throw it away until necessary". paul =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
