.Mac upgrade and your disk space
The new DotMac upgrades are great. 10 gig of storage is awesome, but watch out.
I noticed I was running really low on disk space on my MacBook Pro the other day, much lower than I realized. After digging around to free up space, I found that since the .Mac update, the sync’d local [...]
