[DM-MUG] Update RE: Pokey Snow Leopard

[Jon Thompson]

Anastasia,

On thing I pointed out last night was that hard drives should not be more
than 90% full. If your hard drive is, _or ever has been_, more than 90%
full, you need to use Carbon Copy Cloner, Disk Utility, or SuperDuper to
clone your drive to a bigger drive.

Once you get past that 90% threshold, you _must_ do that to maintain
stability in your Mac. Clearing off space doesn't remedy the fragmenting
issues that result.
