[QUOTE="danielkn, post: 1440500, member: 269403"] Hey everyone. New here :) My name's Daniel, I'm a 19 year old singer/songwriter studying music. I am anything but tech-savvy. Small intro aside, I'm currently using Snow Leopard on an i7 13" MacBook Pro I bought last July. It came with Snow Leopard and later on I bought Lion from the App Store and upgraded. It didn't run as nicely after that - boot up and shut down times were slower, and my ram would always drop down to 5-10mb free from the littlest things like web browsing. So I used the SL cd that came with the computer and wiped the hard drive, reinstalled Snow Leopard. Anyway, I've got an iPad and an iPhone now and would like to try out all this cloud stuff. Which means I have an excuse to give Mountain Lion a shot, right? How would I go about doing a completely clean, fresh install again, since there's no disc? Maybe there are some step by step instructions somewhere? Thanks for any help, Daniel [/QUOTE]
