Agreed. I have never run out of storage space. I simply keep an eye  
on it and delete as necessary, sometimes after burning shows to DVD,  
sometimes after moving them to another storage system, and sometimes  
after simply deciding I don't need to keep something.

Drive space is a limited resource like any other. I wonder if the  
folks who are constantly running out have problems with other things  
like money in their bank accounts, food in their refrigerators, gas  
in their cars or other limited resources that we all have to  
manage ? :-)
