Hi, Shaun. I'm not Tim, but I'll answer as best as I can. I know of
no other blind Mac users in my area, but I intend to change that. I
do believe the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and BLind has some Mac
computers, but I will wager that they don't know how to use them that
well. I hope I can find some people somewhere in the state who use
Macs, but it is going to prove to be kind of hard. Maybe they're
lurking on this list, who knows!

Tim,
Have you found that there are many Mac users in Alabama? I am in
Georgia and find that they are far and few between.

Hi shane,
I notice that I keep losing disk space. I started
off with a much higher amount of free space than I now have.
• What sorts of things have you been downloading. I can't see how
you could be losing that much space just from downloads, they don't
take up that much disk space usually. do you have a .mac account?
If you do and your has an image on your Mac, that can use up
space. TimeMachine can also use up space when backing up. Other
than that, I'm not sure at this point why you would be losing disk
space.
How does one go about getting to a disk
clean-up utility or something similar? I need to find out what is
taking up
so much disk space.
• I used a utility called Disk Inventory X on my tiger Server once
about a year and a half ago but have not used it since so I'm not
sure where you may find it. for the most part, that utility just
determined the sizes of folders, both visible and hidden, so you
could delete stuff if necessary. I do caution you though to make
real sure what you're removing isn't necessary. You don't want
that kind of trouble.
