[QUOTE="DReborn, post: 612802, member: 50652"] So my client bought me a Macbook Air and was nice enough to load Office 2008, Aperture, iWork '08. Very nice of him. Problem is I don't need another laptop so I want to give it to my brother in law. I haven't used the computer that much but I still would feel better if I could erase all the data (internet history, cache, downloads, etc). I know i could just pop in the installation disc, erase, and reinstall 10.5 but i don't want to get rid of all the programs. My client did buy the programs but didn't think I would need the discs. He's also out of the country and who knows where they are now. Is there any way to "restore" OSX without removing applications? thanks! [/QUOTE]
