Ever have one of those d'oh moments?

Last night I was trying to crop an image for one of my websites so that it was 600px along the top edge.  Every time I tried Photoshop gave me a scratch disk full error.  I (embarrassingly) spent about an hour going over websites, defragmenting my scratch disk (which had about 70 gigs free), and anything else I could find to do to alleviate the problem.  After banging my head against the desk I noticed that I had entered 600 into the width box instead of 600px and it defaulted to inches.  So PS was trying to create a 300dpi file 600 inches wide.  No wonder it ran out of memory.
