How is my response not accurate?.
No offense, please, vansmith.
It's my mistake and I rephrase it again here. "It's incomplete" (not sure whether there is a huge difference, though).
Fact is and if you read my post here,
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-desktops/206344-mac-disc-space-deteriorating.html (and I even said in my original reply to your answer "While the above is true" ...! You just didn't cite it in quoting me) it only gives you very vague and "NOT" accurate indication of the available free space.
Just look closer to my post ... I am looking for G34 of files somewhere on the Mac and I don;t even know yet how they are made up!
So while it is true what you said, it is not enough! It would give you an incomplete number, hence making your answer "inaccurate"! But as I said, let's not take it out on the 100% linguistic usage of the two words. I paint a simple picture.
Take it like this. You'd like to know how much your wife spent on her holiday. She'd say "look at all the receipts and count them up" (That would be truly a way for you to find out) But then if you'd look at the bank account, there is a big lump sum missing! WHere is that money?
So, your wife was wrong? No, heck not at all. But there is something missing! ... Inaccurate / incomplete /... let's find more adjectives and what does that do? nothing. Telling the whole story, but, would do all!
