[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1427437, member: 24098"] Agreed, and just to add to gsahli's already excellent advice: OS X is not the same as Windows, which has a tendency to build up cruft in system directories and the registry, which will ultimately require periodic clean installs. This is a bad habit that people bring from Windows, it is usually (like, almost never) required for a Mac. Worst case scenario, you'd need to create a new user account and delete the old - but even that is probably not necessary in this case. [/QUOTE]
