Just a quick note about defragging: I could be wrong, but I think the
Mac Extended file system may have its own defrag properties. I
remember reading somewhere about the different Linux file systems and
how they have their own routines which keep the file system working
efficiently. I'm sure there are specs on the Mac Extended file system
somewhere.

tonight and I have a bunch of duplicates of files with numbers on the
ends of them. that I don't need. Is there a way that I can deleete all
of them at once without selecting every single one? Or, do I have to
select all of them individually? Thanks. Right now, I am selecting
each one individually and deleeting it, but there are hundreds of
them.

Does anyone know why the time can vary so much? During one of
those mamoth
2 minute shutdowns, what's going on?

Hi,
Here's my take on Mac laptops, Mac Book and Mac Book Pro, if you
shut
the lid before the system shuts down, it will often put it into
sleep
mode rather than shutting it down. I've found that you need to wait
until you hear the fan and hard drive go dead before you close the
lid. I've found this is often the cause of such behavior.
In addition, the hinge sensor that detects the lid position can be
loose and on some Mac Books it will wake up before the lid is
opened,
draining the battery and causing a hot hot laptop in a padded bag.
On the disk fragmentation, imho, it's not even worth worrying about
unless you have less than 20 percent free on your hard disk. Rare
these days, but possible in some cases. If you are experiencing
performance issues, I'd make sure you have at least 1gb of RAM in
that Macbook.
Best of luck,
Scott
