- Does anyone have any opinions of TimesTwo, and any comparative
- experience with, say, SpaceSaver? My hard drives are starting to
- run low on space (which means I ought to get ruthless with the
- crap...), but I figure I might as well look into software
- solutions.
-
- So, how's the reliability of these suckers? I really hate crashes...
- I'm running a IIsi--is speed a concern? Would an fpu help any?
- What are the compression ratios like? Would I do just as well to
- use compact pro (which i've already paid for) on the stuff I never
- use, but don't really want to get rid of?
-
- On a somewhat related note, does a shareware disk optimiser exist?
