A big thank you to those who answered my first post on here when I first got my imac. I have had almost three weeks now and love it. Every once in a while I do notice a slow down of apps and such. The usual symptoms from windows days--sluggish typing, slow switching between apps. etc.
My question is does rebooting have the same effect in Mac world --speciffically the wintel macs as it does in the windows world? I know that rebooting in windows XP clears some "stuff" out of whatever was making it slow and resets some things I assume and for a while will make windows appear more crisp and fast in many tasks. With my XP machine I'd have to do that every few hours (XP crud build up) with the iMac it's maybe happened every five days if that? Just curious is rebooting on iMac does the same apparent system "refresh" for lack of a better word.
Thanks in advance.
