What's on your Hard Drive(s)
People talk of their 80/120GB drives getting full and adding more and more drives.
I found on my PC that all the applications and OS (WindowsXP Pro, OfficeXP, PS 7, PageMaker 6.5, Partition Magic, ACDC, Norton SW 2003, Webshots, several utilities like WinAce, Win Rar and CD/DVD burning software....) all fit on about 5GB including page file.
What stuff do you guys have that takes up so much space?

All of the above but the last one.
Why have all that space and never use it for anything???
You should make the poll with checkboxes instead of radio buttons, till then, no vote.

You forgot "software"!!
VS.NET 1.5 Gigs
VS6 a couple hundred megs
MSDN a couple hundred megs
MS OfficeXP a whole boatload of wasted space
various applications for work - another couple hundred megs
MP3's (umm work related.. umm of course!) - 1.5gigs 
on a 10 gig HD 
on PC
well 2 OS's take up quite a chunk of space alone
Games!
MP3's...
Err.... images
NEED checkboxes!
