I just noticed that my main hard drive space is depleting fast. How’d this happen? I’ve got a load of podcasts [both audio and video], ripped audio CDs [mostly audio books], personal photos and videos and video feeds from Taraweeh this year! Its amazing how even a 180 gig hard drive gets filled up. I can delete most of the podcast [only the audio, i have yet to watch a slew of video podcasts i've downloaded] and audio CD content but I have to back up the rest somewhere else. Guess what I’ll be doing the rest of this weekend!
