[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 383025, member: 3889"] I think any Genius at an Apple store would suggest the same thing. Archive and install is no big deal. The thing to do after that is to run maintenance regularly to prevent the small stuff from becoming big stuff. MainMenu or Onyx would keep the system in good shape, plus an occasional fsck -fy every once in a while. In six years and two computers, I've never needed more. This machine is nearly five years old, and I've never had a system failure, just small stuff fixed when running maintenance, usually AppleJack that's run much as fsck -fy is, from an Apple "S" startup.
