App of the Week: GrandPerspective

Written by: MacCast

Categories: Podcast

Once in a while you’ll check your Macintosh HD and be astonished that you only have 4 GB free. Maybe not the case with newer Macs – but for those of us running a 60 GB Macbook or MacMini something must be done.

That’s where GrandPerspective comes to play. Not only is it free, but if offers a beautiful visual representation of your data. It may not do much more than that but it does what it’s meant to do perfectly.

If you want something with more advanced options, WhatSize is available for $12.99 (USD) . To get GrandPerspective heard over to their SourceForge.net page.

BusyCalA podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. A special episode of the Maccast with John Chaffee from BusyMac. John and I missed each other on the show floor at Macworld Expo 2010, but I heard a lot about his product BusyCal (a great alternative to iCal). A couple weeks ago I was able to grab John on Skype and we talked about BusyCal, his past life working on another great Mac calendar app, Now Up-to-Date, and about his impressions of Macworld Expo 2010 in general.
