[QUOTE="technologist, post: 154394, member: 4134"] It's not like the bits get senile or something... Even if your OS gets really corrupted, an Archive and Install should fix it. Only if 1) you buy someone else's computer and need to get rid of their stuff or 2) as a last resort to fix a serious problem with the machine. It's a huge hassle, and it takes a long time to restore from backups. OS X doesn't seem to accumulate crud as easily as Windows or even OS 9 or Linux. [/QUOTE]
