I saw on the MS download page that they recommended AdventureWorks sample database. But I was going through a tutorial of MM.NET which I understand works with Northwind. Then I realized that Northwind will take about 10 Gb of hard disk space. And I only have about 36 Gb. So I am concerned of running out of hard disk space. So I stopped the process so far until I decide how to proceed. I am sure that if I install both Northwind and Adventure it will be even more (like 20 Gb) and then I will have almost no space left. Maybe time to upgrade the hardware.

Thank you.
