Every time it "gave me more space", it told me I now have 5G...which is what I had before I started.  :(

Full Walkthrough

Every time it "gave me more space", it told me I now have 5G...which is what I had before I started.  :(

The only thing I can think of is that sometimes it rounds the number. But if you got through the entire thing and you're still at 5Gb, that's definitely a problem. :-/

Yeah, it worked. Thanks for bring it to my attention and of course to the original poster of the walkthrough. Without it i would have been lost. :)

Yeah, got to have mad respect for the first few to complete this thing. There are at least a couple of the puzzles I would never have solved doing this thing honest.
