Years ago, compression
was all the rage. Now that hard drives can handle 20+ gigabytes of data, you
shouldn't have to rely on software compression for more space. Of course, if
you're still hankering for an extra byte or two, fire up your favorite ZIP file
manager. Run a digitally fine-toothed Comb through your hard drive, searching
for data & programs which you hardly use. When you've found a few, ZIP them
up! You'll potentially wind up saving megabytes.
