download an app called monolingual, its free. get it to run and get rid of all the languages u dont use and all the processor architectures u dont use, it saved me 5 gbs. run it more than once so it picks up what it missed the first time

I've read that using Monolingual on an Intel Mac screws up the Rosetta emulation layer..

Link is from 2006 but I'm not sure if it still applies to newer Macs
 
I bought a portable Toshiba 320GB external hard drive for $76 or $78 at Best Buy, where they had to price match it to Wal-mart.
