[QUOTE="Demapples, post: 1397674, member: 199799"] This was exactly my reaction. Shudder. Maintenance on my iMac is a breeze compared to my prior Windows computers. The main problem I have on my Mac now is Windows, which I am running in Parallels: it updates so often that I have to remember to reboot it every few days, otherwise it blue screens inside the virtual machine and then I have to reboot it anyway. Always happens after Windows does an automated update, which seems to be weekly. But that only affects the few Windows programs I use. The Mac side ignores what's going on in the Windows side. Mac OS does spin up my external hard drives from time to time. I have been poking away at that. got them excluded from Spotlight now. I don't often have to simultaneously copy multiple files from one place to another, but when I do I don't notice a performance hit, and I like the native Mac progress Window that pops up. Then again, I'm not running programs that drive my iMac hard. I don't play with programs that require special sandboxing so cannot comment. [/QUOTE]
