[QUOTE="boplicity, post: 170021"] Well, I was thinking I could reinstall everything to "clean up" the hard drive. Is that silly? I know it was pretty effective on my Windows laptop. When it started running a bit slow I'd reinstall the discs back to the same setup as when I purchased the laptop. It seemed to wipe out anything that was slowing things down. I recently bought an external harddrive as my Powerbook's 40gig harddrive was about maxxed out. I have noticed that the book is running a lot slower lately. I thought pulling my mp3s and jpegs and whatnot off the PB and onto the ext drive along with reinstalling the OS would be a big help. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
