Maybe indexing by the system or Outlook, or a large swapfile. If you suspect
something is gone bezerk fire-up task manager and watch what is happening.
Indexing might asymptotically reach a maximum but had not because you had run
out of space.

Ok, folks, .... the mystery continues.
Of the 12 G I freed up on my computer moving stuff to the external HD and
deleting stuff AND deleting the trash AND cleaning up system files, repeatedly,
all but 5 G had been replaced 24 hours later! I had done nothing on the
machine in the meantime but answer email.
Are you SURE that there is no way that some program has gone berserk an
is busily cloning stuff on my HD? Are there any programs that are prone to
that sort of thing? Outlook? Firefox?
Just double checking.

How about $10 a gallon gas and $2000 / month rent? I'd settle for that.

Thanks, Barry,
But we Puritans think that currency inflation is one of the wages of
sin, and if we spend less money, the world will returned to an earlier State of
Grace. I still remember 25 cent gasoline on Ashby Avenue in Berkeley. That's
what gasoline SHOULD cost.

This may not be any consolation, but these “dollars” you speak of,
thanks to inflation, are what we used to call in our childhood, “dimes”.
