How do you know when you computer is full?

Post by bubbd202 » Thu Dec 13, 2007 5:23 am

I have LOTS of music software on my computer. How do you check a Mac to see how much room you have left? I am about to install Session Drums and my mac has been a little wierd since I installed the rest of the Live 7 box set
I am using a intel imac 2 GB, 2.16Gz and a external HD

When you double click on the hard drive icon to open it, it says at the bottom of the window how much space is available.
