Cleaning out my disk space

So my computer is getting progressively slower, so I decided to clean off my computer some! Problem is, I didn't know where to start.

I found this program:
http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/jdiskreport/

It is free, runs on macs (there is more robust software for windows) and give you a pie chart of where most of your data is. And of course, the option to drill down in the folders, etc, etc.

I found out my biggest data problem is with my music! I wouldn't have started there, as I rarely use my music and podcasts - I would have started with email, where I'm a heavy end-user.

After cleaning out the podcasts and some other data, I now have 6GB free! And it didn't take that long at all.

Good stuff.
