[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1081648, member: 56379"] Usually it is not necessary to reinstall Mac OS X to "restore it performance". If the Mac you're inheriting (your son's old Mac)...seems slow...it's either because: - it's an older computer...and slowness "just happens" - or the computer needs a little bit of maintenance performed to help it run a fast as it can...or at least as fast as it can in a modern world (depending on it's age) Let us know the specs on this computer...so we know what we're dealing with. Thanks, - Nick [/QUOTE]
