hey ya'll,
this isn't my 1st post, but the 1st one on my new mac. been using it for a couple of days now and I really dig it.
I have some basics questions...
1. generally, always put the iMac to sleep rather than shutting it down? I've read somewhere that the OS performs certain maintenance tasks during the night, which only works if the mac is either on or in sleep mode. then again I've read somehwere else that the maintenance stuff only runs when the mac is on, not in sleep mode.
2. as far as maintenance apps are concerned, which one(s) would you guys recommend? macjanitor, onyx, applejack, cocktail....?
3. safari: any chance to turn off the automatic download feature. I prefer being asked if and where I want to DL/save things!
thanks in advance for the help!
