[QUOTE="ryanwarsaw, post: 392798, member: 24018"] Get rid of all your garage band loops and I think Idvd also has them or Imovie or whatever. IMO there are a few GIG of things nobody would ever use bundled in. In my case I deleted Garageband, Imovie, Iweb and the languages I didn't need. Although I don't need every printer driver on the planet I left those on because maybe I would use them in the future. I was delighted the first time I hooked my Mac up to my printer that it didn't need the install disc or anything. On the other hand I later realized that for things to "just work" there is a cost in terms of your hard drive. Imagine my shock when i realized black magic wasn't part of the software technology of OS X. If you are completely new to Mac maybe use it for awhile and wait and see what you will use. After that get diskinventory and other programs to remove some bloat. You can remove just about anything you want from a Mac so be careful what you delete as you may regret it later. I would recommend waiting and using your Mac until the space becomes an issue and then go through it and see what you don't want. I am fairly new to OS X myself so if anybody gives me negative rep for what I suggested here I would appreciate it if they could at least tell me how I went astray with my advice. Most often I wait for more knowledgable users to chirp in and am a bit gun shy to post. [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
