A 'new' mac with a Tiger disk in the box won't be particularly 'new'
stock, will it? Leo's been around for a while now.
Personally, I do a fresh (re)install every few months or so; that keeps
everything ****p-shape, obliges me to keep my data organised, and also
means I can do the task almost in my sleep. You're only talking about
an hour or so of your time. Having to re-enter your password a dozen or
more times can be annoying, but my method ensures I know exactly what's
on my Mac.
I've bought from the Mac store at UNSW for years, and they are a branch
of Computers Now. They've always been good to me. I've heard HORROR
STORIES about Next Byte, and that place in Bondi Junction.
Well, that's my input
