Run your system below 1MB free and watch the nifty gas gauge icon >appear in the status window! :-) Which version of the Unix PC operating system are you running? I'm running 3.5, and the only warning I get is when the root file system goes below 5%. Then, about every ten minutes, the console beeps, and a warning message appears in a pop-up window. The "Touch enter to continue" thing eats all my typed characters until I do just that. Very annoying when I'm in an editor. If I don't type anything, the window goes away in a couple minutes, only to reappear ten minutes later. There's no way to say "I *know*, so shut up!" Is the gas-gauge icon a little less obtrusive? -Ed Still debating whether or not to wait for 3.51b to upgrade...
