Why is XP lying to me?

[Tabitha.Lorenz]

I keep getting a message telling me my hard drive is full. But it's not
full, there is still about one half of a meg of space left. This is a
big hard drive, 40 megs, so there is plenty of space. Why is XP lying
to me? Is this something that Microsoft did to defraud the users so
they buy another hard drive? I assume MS gets about half the price of
each Hard Drive sold. MS is a ripoff company. They are crooks. When
will the government stop their corruption, and shut them down? The time
has come.

That's a *tiny* amount. It's *very* close to full.

Big? It's tiny! It's so tiny that I can't imagine that you have
correctly told us its size. Drives that small haven't been made in
*many* years. Even if it's 40 gigabytes, not megabytes, it's very
small, if not tiny; there are very few drives that small available for
purchase these days. Please tell us what its size actually is.

Excuse me? Who's lying to whom?

This is an obvious troll.

This is an obvious troll.

That's offensive to many people.

Yes, you're probably right. There are many trolls who would be offended
to be associated with this one.
