[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 364983"] I think that they mean that that account always stays fresh, free of system tweaks, hacks, etc. It's also, I would imagine, a security thing. With a regular account, you have restricted powers but with an admin account you have a lot more of them. Remember the [URL="http://veerle.duoh.com/blog/comments/first_mac_os_x_virus_thats_it_i_switch/"][B]OS X/Leap.A worm[/B][/URL]? I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
