Hello everyone.

I am an 18 year old college student who uses his MacBook Pro for everything.

I also have no money. It's a financial miracle that I was able to afford this computer, so I want to know what you do to make yours last as long as possible, software wise. I can't afford to buy anything else.

I used to use Onyx, but alas, no Leopard version to date. Currently I'm using a look-a-like program called "Ice Clean", and it's better than nothing. I also use Disk Utility to repair permissions and whatnot.

My question is what else should I do? How often should I schedule a maintenance routine? Tell me what you do. I love this machine and I want to keep it at fast and perfect as possible.

Thanks.

Run the batch tasks as often as you would like (I do it about once a week).

Good luck.

P.S. Onyx has a 10.5.x version out: here
