[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 309290"] A great freeware maintenance app is [URL="http://www.santasw.com/"][B]MainMenu[/B][/URL]. The daily task runs in about 10 seconds. The weekly and monthly tasks take a bit longer but they run in the background anyway so no worries there. Mac OS X comes from the Unix mainframes world: those computers were meant to be on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And like I said it in another thread somewhere in Mac-Forums, it isn't always convenient, practical or ecological to run your Mac around the clock like that. The maintenance tasks come built-in Mac OS X and are set to run every day around 3:00 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. and if it is shut down, the tasks can't be performed. In the long run this can cause your Mac to behave strangely. That's why I use MainMenu. OnyX too is a swell freebie. [/QUOTE]
