Wanted to buy a new laptop, instead I made mine faster for cheap, here's how.

I always wanted a utility like treesize. I had programmed one in pascal, in the good ol' DOS days, but it didn't work well with NTFS partitions. Thanks for the tip! :)
Oh, btw, i really recommend people to make various partitions in their drive - leave 10 or 15 gigs for C: where windows resides. Then tell windows (don't ask me how, tweaking the registry works) that the programfiles folder is in (your other partition)\program files. I also have a partition for the multimedia files (music, videos, etc). This way you can just delete your Red vs. Blue videos if you're running out of space :)
As a general rule, storing your data in a separate partition than your program files, does wonders. You know where is what, and the fragmentation of your HD is always kept to a minimum.

This is a problem in almost all current file systems. When the disk gets about 80 % full, the performance drops rapidly.

I didn't know there was RvB fans here too! It must be one of the funniest things in the internet :D.

Grif: One of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence? Or is there really a God, watching everything. You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night.
Simmons: What? I mean why are we out here, in this canyon.
Grif: Uh... Oh... Yeah...
Simmons: What's all this stuff about God?
Grif: Uh... um... Nothing.

That's true, I've been using TreeSize for a year, it's a must.
A simmilar program (but opensource) program for linux is Baobab (if you preffer GTK apps) or KDirStat (if you preffer QT apps).
Hopefully, some day someone will make a wxTreeSize... :P

When you think about it, I bet it's really really easy. :p

The problem is designing a good interface for it, as always.
