Hi guys; great show.

I know another tool like OmniDiskSweeper that provides a similar functionality: It is called "WhatSize!" - very handy!
One comment about the DMZ of routers. I heard that you could actually jeopardize the security of other machines in your network when opening up this feature. Plus: it is the lazy, ungeeky way to do it so be aware.
