[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1492757"] When you say "like-new condition," do you mean: a. I am giving this computer to someone else and I want it to be as though they are starting it up for the first time, OR b. I want to keep it running like it did when it was new. If the latter, please see the essay linked in my signature. Bottom line: as harryb said, Macs aren't PCs. Keep some HD space free at all times, make routine backups, run a little maintenance occasionally, that's all you really NEED to do. I also recommend OnyX as harryb did. If the former, we can advise you further on that. It's not difficult but does not necessarily require reformatting. [/QUOTE]
