quick graphic of HD memory usage?

Anyone know of a little app that lets you see, at a glance, where your HD memory is being taken up? Activity Monitor has a nice little pie-chart but it's only used/free memory - is there anything that splits that up so you can see easily and quickly where your memory is being used (movies, music, apps, etc)

cheers

the Terminal seems to be describing RAM usage..and anyway, a bit too unmediated for a non-techie like myself.

Al, thanks for the link. From the feedback for that app, I got a freeware app called WhatSize? http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/index.php

-no pie charts but very easy to read, accessible, simple.

cheers

Just use the included Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor) and it will tell you what you want to see.
