Hi all. Greetings and salutations.
I've been thinking about making the switch for a while now, and I have a TON (figuratively speaking, of course) of questions before going through with it. But one question at a time.
Will the OSX slow down to a near crawl like Windows does when there are a lot of big files on the hard drive? Like, when it's almost full? Now, I realize that ANY hard drive will slow down when there are many files on it, it's unavoidable. But I want to know if OSX behaves differently regarding this issue.
One point I need to mention... I am a complete Mac newbie. My only experience with it is playing around on a pretty 27" iMac in Staples for like, 5-10 minutes at a time. Please be gentle and give answers in a kind of Mac basics for Dummies format, please. :Blushing: Any and all answers are greatly appreciated!!
Do you need my Windows specs for this question or not?
