[QUOTE="MartinS, post: 330450, member: 22279"] I've seen that upon buying a new Mac some people immediately do a fresh install of OS X. I was just wondering what the advantages are of this, and how many of you think it's necessary. Also, if I transfer my stuff from my mini to a new iMac using Migration Assistant, does it transfer "bad stuff" I don't want on a new system, such as anything that might be corrupt within an appliction, or will it only transfer the apps, preferences and files, etc? All comments welcome. [/QUOTE]
