Is there a program on our Macs...

That shows you where all your hard drive space is being used?
Maybe a chart or pie graph that shows the different areas where space is being used and by what programs.

Did I make ANY sense???

No built in application, unfortunately. However, all is not lost... download and install the free "Disk Inventory X". Link

You could use du, which is a command line tool you can access through the terminal, but it definitely won't be as pretty nor as easy to use, but it is there in a pinch

Thanks!
that works very slick

I would recommend WhatSize, which gives you the details on a directory-by-directory basis. I like Disk Inventory X, but while it looks interesting, it doesn't give me the kind of detail I want.

Grandperspective is what you need

Excellent free app:

GrandPerspective

That and Disk Inventory X are nice - especially since they're free. But I have to agree with cw107, Whatsize is more informative. Since it's only $12.99 to register, it's certainly a bargain.

Personally, I like and use "muCommander" a small Norton Commander like file manager for OS X. It takes a bit more navigation and "hunting" around to find various file info and size, but it provides a wealth of information that the others do not. And, it's an excellent file manager.

muCommander (Freeware)

Or you could just open your hard disk, switch to List view, open View Options, and check the "Calculate all sizes" button.

No pretty graphs, but it's quicker than downloading something.
