I upgraded an old G3 iBook with too little HD free space to Safari 4 about 3 weeks ago. I rarely use this iBook, so I was being careful, and making due with about 1 GB free space for Tiger 10.4.11. Yesterday things literally ground to a halt, and I immediately checked the HD free space. It was ZERO.
I freaked, and did everything I could think of to trash items and only managed to clear 136 MB doing EVERYTHING I could think of. Then a saw these articles about Safari 4 bloat: <http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/05/23/1747241/> <http://www.thrica.com/archives/352> It seems that Safari 4 filled my 1 GB free space in just a couple weeks, and I barely use this computer. I have uninstalled Safari 4 on this iBook and started to recover some space from these hidden caches, but this is a real shocker. I'm wishing I'd never installed Safari 4 on this iBook. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
