What Do You Waste YOUR Hard Drive Space On?

[queerbychoice]

My hard drive has run out of space!

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that 2.34 gigabytes of it, or approximately 81% of my hard drive, is filled with several hundred large bitmaps of David Bowie, along with a hundred or so naked pictures of his wife.

But see, I need those pictures. And no, I can't convert them to JPEG, because don't you understand, I can't risk losing one single solitary beloved pixel from my dearest David's face (nor Iman's body, either) to the horrors of JPEG compression.

i absolutely can't believe that after confessing that 81% of my hard drive could be emptied by merely compressing or deleting a few pictures of david bowie, both responses i received advised me to solve the problem by spending more money to store the pictures, rather than simply getting my bowie fetish a little more reasonably under control.

you clearly have no grasp at all of what an extreme emergency would be necessary to provoke me to spend money. here's what i did: i sorted the pictures in order of size, then looked through the 50 biggest pictures and deleted about 5 of them that were not really sexy enough to matter much to me. and voila! 12% of my hard drive space is now empty.
