hey there all,
i have a friend that has an aging iBook G3. it seems as though something is causing the reading of free HD space to fluctuate. upon a restart, the capacity is accurate, but as the iBook is left on...the finder shows that the free space is decreasing! other times it will read higher one minute then adds a couple dozen MBs. this continues till OSX warns him that he is running out of HD space and he is no longer able to dowload a file (PDF or mp3 or whatever) unless he restarts.
