Yeah, I hate it when any given drive/partition gets below 20GB.  I feel like
I am about out of space.

I just looked at my free space and thought, sheesh, only 88GB left. About 20
years ago a friend of mine bought the first hard disk I'd ever seen. He paid
$3500 for a 5MB disk for his Apple III.

I imagine that in 20 years, hard disks will be measured in petabytes, and
we'll still be running out of space.
