Lately I've been thinking about reinstalling my Mac OS. Just to give my laptop a "fresh start". It runs all the time and is packed with stuff. Seems it is going a bit slower and the fan is working more often than what it once did. Time machine do a back up to a external HD.
Does anybody reinstall their Mac once in a while, or is that unnecessary on Mac? Does time machine have all I need or should I do my own file by file back up in addition? Can I install Mountain Lion on my Mac and at the same time install it as a new software (like on PC where you install a OS as a fresh new OS, and not an upgrade)?
Thanks.
