Hi ,
I am a relatively new Mac user, but have experience with *nix and Windows, over the last couple of months (Maybe 4) my imac has been slowing down, and showing more of the spinning beach-balls.
It has 2 Gig Ram, acres of free disk space and I tend not to run multiple apps.
There doesn't appear to be any major hardware issues (I think if something was failing, it would have failed catastrophically by now) I have installed and run Onyx and used disc utilities to repair permissions etc. This has helped somewhat, but not as much as I would like.
Googling and reading various forums (fora?) suggests that a reinstall of Snow Leopard and restore from Time Machine will help further, however that seems somewhat "UnMac-like" and so I would appreciate any suggestions, opinions or ideas
Thanks in advance
