    ROGER KATZ  There have been a number of times, while I was reorganizing my disk drives, when my free space went to low - causing me quite bothersome problems. Space Control would have saved me from these problems - had I had it installed at the time. Since free space normally gets too low when I am much too busy to keep checking up up on it in the Finder's Get Info window; I GREATLY APPRECIATE the opportunity that SpaceControl will now send me an eMail warning (as well as its menubar status) to keep me aware of what is happening behind my back.

    JOHAN ELZENGA  The Finder already supports showing the free space (and the total space) underneath the name of each volume. Click on your desktop, choose 'Show View Options' and check the 'Show Item Info' box.

    RASMUSRG  Well, first of all, you can't see that when your working with other applications(applications that covers the desktop). And secound (the most important) if you had read the information about spaceControl you should know that SpaceControls primal field is to Warn when the free space goes below the limit you have choosed.

    So it's just silly to compare SpaceControl with Finder's buildt in function... Hey man, SpaceControl is free!
