In one of the Mac bundles we bought a while ago one of the included programs was Xslimmer. It is a fantastic utility, that takes Universal Binaries (the Mac OS X application files) and strips out the PowerPC components and languages you won’t need. This saves quite a few gigabytes on your drive even if you only have a stock standard Mac OS X with iLife. It also makes load times faster. So if your HDD’s getting full or you’re a neat-freak give it a go. I think the US$12.95 are well invested.
