Alrighty - with week one under my belt as a Mac user, I am really starting to get the hang of OS X and I am really enjoying it. I know this may sound odd to all of you - but I still can't get over the whole "when you are done working on your iBook, just close the lid" - that concept is so odd to me. Sure, with my old Dell, I could do that, but it was a crap shoot if it would come back the way I left it. Not to mention, the battery would be dead too.
Anyhow, I've got a couple of questions about general maintenance of my Mac - back in the Windoze world, I would run a defrag once a week, check disk, and Win-doctor to keep it running smoothly - do I need to do any of that with my iBook? If so, what?
I come from the Unix (Solaris) side of the house and I don't normally have to do anything to those boxes - they just run and run forever. But I wasn't sure about the Mac.
Thanks!
