[QUOTE="kal151, post: 196216"] As you probably already know installing software on a windoze machine is like a free for all with the system. System files get modified/broken in the process. Things are added to the registry that in most cases never get removed. So as time goes by it gets more and more bloated. If you use IE and Outlook then you have the semi-hidden log files that grow and grow. Bad system management by windoze. OS X doesn't allow the base system to be cluttered up the way windoze does. When you uninstall a program it is usually 100% gone and has left no damage to the system. Search for the program in finder, drag it to the trash. About once a week I always empty the trash and repair file permissions. [COLOR=DarkRed]My iBook runs the same as it did when I bought it 1.5 years ago. [/COLOR] On a side note, I had a laugh yesterday when I was looking around the system log and noticed that the last time I powered the iBook down was back in January. LOL! I have to reboot my windoze machine at least once a week. [/QUOTE]
