around in the innards of my computer and dumping junk files has resulted in amazing savings. I went from having 7 gigs free (yikes!) to having more than 80 gigs free. I feel like my MacBook just got a new lease on life!
I'd have to think about where I looked: I emptied a lot of pics from iPhoto that I didn't want, but had never sorted. I emptied some music I no longer listen to. I found in the library a download cache that had stuff that was duplicated from where I'd saved it elsewhere and dumped that. Went through the preference files and dumped all those from apps I no longer have or use.

can you give me any tips on where to eliminate big chunks? I need to do the same. sean at daenzer dot org
Yikes, not very easily. I will say that hunting down all the Parallels stuff and dumping it was a significant gain - went to Bootcamp instead.
not the news I wanted to hear. I don't even have Parallels to deal with :\
