[QUOTE="pinto79, post: 1578075, member: 167075"] If I opt for the wipe/reload, I would most likely just make a list of all the software I'm using and either re-download it for the free stuff, and backup my installer packages for the ones I have bought etc. and actually go through the process like a new computer. All my music and videos etc are all stored on an external drive. The Time Machine backup pulls from the internal and external drives and backs up separately on a second external. I would also wipe the backup drive and start fresh there. I was a DOS/Windows user forever, so wiping and starting over is not a new concept. :) [/QUOTE]
