I ran ODS on an ibook G4 and it identified 19 GB of data in use. However, finder shows 23 GB in use. Any idea why there is a difference? The ibook G4 was updated using migration assistant and populated with information from an older ibook.

I feel that I must have some duplicate files somewhere and I'm trying to locate them.

Thanks for any help.

Because ODS won't scan and calculate other user accounts (for obvious security reasons) unless you run it via the terminal (see here (http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=23) to find out how). I'm assuming you have another user account that takes up 4GB of space.
