I wouldn't reformat every year, but I would plan on reformatting for
10.5 You will have your choice of two filesystems with 10.5 - HFS+ and
ZFS. There are some compelling reasons to use ZFS. Go Google "ZFS and
Leopard."

Tom,
I'm thinking ahead about Mac OS 10.5.
It seems to me that many, many years ago you recommended that a
computer's hard drive should be reformatted annually. Then reinstall
the OS, applications, and data.
Do you still recommend this? I was thinking that if I'm going to do
this, then the installation of OS 10.5 might be a good time to do it.
At that time my iMac G5 2GHz 2GB RAM, 400GB disk, will be 2-1/3 years
old.
