[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1730359, member: 56379"] Two things: 1. Whenever I get a "new to me" computer...I always wipe it clean (erase & reformat the HD)...and a fresh install of the OS. Then any garbage or other stuff from the previous owner is eliminated. 2. Unless the apps on the iMac are apps you personally own & installed...they are not legal installs. My advice is...when your Snow Leopard DVD arrives...wipe the HD...reformat the HD...install a fresh copy of Snow Leopard...and start with a clean slate. Otherwise you may end up with issues that a clean-setup would eliminate.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
