With even a simple 33.6 modem, it
isn't hard to fill up 1.2GB of space. Once you're wired into the
Net, it's just a short period of time before
your drive is filled
with a ton of games, apps, utilities, and whatever else you can get
nowadays. And
when you're finally out of space, what do you do? You probably hit
the obvious spots: the download directory, Program Files, and wipe
out your Temporary Files directories. And still, you're
dangerously low on space.
There exist hundreds of disk space
watchers and pie-chart analysts. Sure, they can tell you what your hard drive space looks
like and what directories take up the most space. But can they tell you where all that
free space you had last week went? Which directories have grown since this morning, in
what directories have you actually gained space from cleaning, and what directories
haven't changed at all?
Drive Doppler gives you all these answers. The method is
simple: take digital snapshots of your hard drive file distribution now, do your usual
computer-thing, then take another snapshot and compare the two. Through comparison, you
can see where all your once-ample hard drive space has been sucked into! Make the $300 you
paid for that super-huge hard drive go that extra mile. Or just
squeeze months or even years out of
that old 1.2GB drive.

Old DOS FAT? You're both covered. (NTFS anyone?)

drive to yesterday? 12 hours ago? Last week? No problem.
