[QUOTE="baggss, post: 512782, member: 6762"] [url]http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1190734&tstart=0[/url] Lots of people disagree because lots of people don't know any better. They are so use to the "Windows way" that they can't wrap their heads around a very simple process. Everyone has their reasons. I've been using OSX since it was first released and the older systems for years before that. You can do a clean install if you want, but it's a waste of time that doesn't get you anything that an Archive & Install wouldn't get you and actually makes your life more difficult when you have to reinstall all you apps and set everything back up. Since you don't have much, it probably won't matter to you either way. I'd also recommend you read this thread: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78038[/url] [/QUOTE]
