This machine had a scanner and a 850 MB hard drive. When I first started using the machine, I noticed it was running Windows 3.1 and had about 350 MB free. Then I found four 100 MB .tif files (no compression) of 8.5" x 11" scans taken from a "Lowrider" magazine. A little while later, the free space was correctly restored, and the teacher questioned. --- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR | TGIFreeBSD...
