[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1092008"] Macs in high use CAN get slower over time, but do not require "rebuilding" or the drastic steps that PC users seem to have to do. I knew one guy that wiped his HD and copletely reinstalled Windows *every three months* for best performance. Mac people just laugh at stories like that. Simple routine maintenance (again, much less than you'd find on a PC) will keep the Mac snappy for the whole of its useful life. My BlackBook is three years old this August, and just as fast as its ever been. [/QUOTE]
