Is there a widget/application that will help me easily locate the files/folders that is using up my space? O/S is 10.4.11

Know anything about WhatSize 4.1.1?

In addition, maybe you need a bigger external hard drive for all those data files you do not access all that often.
AMD Athlon 64-2800, 2 GB RAM (DDR2), 300GB and 2TB HDDs, ATi Radeon HD 3450 (AGP), Shuttle AN51R mobo, SB Live! sound card, HP DVD burner, USB card reader

That's ultimately the plan but for the time being I opted to remove the family movies/pictures that I never got around to burning to DVD. I now have about 170 GB free space.
