Yong-Long Lai Finally managed to get hold of TNT and installed Snow Leopard Upgrade yesterday night. Decided to take a screenshot of the actual amount of space I actually end up saving after installing the Snow Leopard upgrade… so below is the ‘before’ picture.
What’s interesting is the after picture… initially when I looked at it I didn’t realised there was an improvement, but after a more carefully look I realised the capacity increase! I guess the capacity of the harddrive is exclusive of the Mac OSX or something… which sort of makes sense because I have a 160GB hard drive. All this time I was wondering where my other 12GB disappear to.
What’s strange is the final disk usage actually went up. Anyways, its kind of strange if you ask me, seems like they effectively freed up some misallocation of space or something. I have no idea, but this is my two cents worth without doing much research onto this topic. End of the day, i’m happy because I got ~10GB back from the upgrade and things seems to run faster. That said, i’ll write another post with stuff that didn’t work quite well at the start and tips and tricks that I had to do to get around it.
PS: I noticed the screen capture was a lot brighter… they most probably changed some display setting to make it more bright and it really helps with my external monitor! wished they figured this out when they made the software. (better late than never)
