Re: General OS X question
this is true. applications don't usually take up much space (except adobe, microsoft....). if you start from the root of the drive, and go to list view sorted by size like i described above, you can use the little triangles at the left to toggle open folders. then the contents of that folder will show up in list view, sorted by size. that way you don't have to go through the whole rigamarole for each new folder you open.
