Store Developer docs on a compressed disk image
Authored by: lihtox on May 04, '07 07:25:00AM

You miss the point; while 1GB may only cost $0.20, you can't upgrade your current hard drive in 1GB increments. Instead, to upgrade a drive, you have to a) pay $89, b) transfer all your files over, and c) install the drive in your computer. I think this solution is rather more convenient than that.

Well you'd be wrong, mainly because you're not considering the long-term costs in maintenance. If you really just need another gig, as I said, a $10 thumb drive is likely to be a better investment than constant micromanagement of "live" compressed images. When it gets right down to it, all of /Developer is under 2GB, too, so the smart money would be to just drop $20 on a thumb drive large enough to hold it all (or stuff in on some unused iPod space) and forget about it when you're not doing development.
