[QUOTE="bmcgonag, post: 379713, member: 29816"] That's the great thing about a mac..when you just think it's sitting idle, it's defragging...it's automatic. Also, it will slow slightly on boot up as you add apps, but no need to clean up very often. Watch for files that you create, and then don't use again, or files that have sat unused for a long time. Back them up to CD, DVD, external drive, and lose them from the internal drive. Use disc utility occasionally to do a Permission Repair, and verify, good for it, makes things run smooth, I do it once every 3 months...maybe. If you have an external drive, it's not a bad idea to make a back up of your internal every couple of weeks, just in case you want to go back a step, or if for some ungodly reason the drive died. Best, enjoy your MBP. Brian [/QUOTE]
