Hi David,

I'm answering off the top of my head, so I'll be missing the kind of 
details that you probably want as an answer, but do bear with me.

version 6.53 - don't settle for less.

plugins: that's the forte of TC. don't miss them.

eye-candy issue: plain true, although you can make it look a lot 
better. The ghisler forum - forum.ghisler.ch I think - has a thread on 
screenshots, take a look. BTW, you can easily change the bold type in 
the configuration>options>font menu - that's the first thing I did, 
and change the font too 'cause the default sans serif dates back to 
win95 times and looks old by comparison with xp.

calculate dir size: there's a good content plugin for that, I think 
it's called dirsize. "content" is one of 4 types of plugins for TC: 
content (columns), file system, lister (viewers), packer (compress). 
With dirsize you can do manual/auto fore/background calculate. 
Recommended. Thread on ghisler forum.

Site: I like ghisler for discussion and totalcommander.ru (in english) 
for downloads - the latter is probably misnamed but I can't think of 
the right name right now.

advanced usage: lots to discover. Post to the ghisler forum when you 
think you'd like to do something and don't know how. Don't expect much 
in terms of eye-candy, go for the meat. One thing I recently 
discovered is the ability of searching and coloring file names based 
on content plugins. Given the amount of content plugins available 
(multimedia, file properties, file comments, image properties, and 
many more) I think you could put it to really good use).

why I like it: small (plugins are usually very small), doesn't use the 
registry (carry on usb), solid, powerful (more than xplorer2 or dopus 
IMHO *IF* you use plugins), gets the job done - complex jobs I mean.

Like powerpro, it takes a while to explore TC and learn it. Give 
yourself enough time.
