I am not technically inclined at all, although I enjoy computers. However, I've never heard of re-formatting a new computer. I just got my new powerbook last week. Why is this recommended?

Thanks,
Claire


Josh, I recommend and so would most of the peeps on this forum that any
new computer out of the box should always be re-formatted and started
from scratch.  You should completely erase your hard drive, bust out
the CD-ROM's that came with your computer and do a clean, fresh,
problem free install.  Trust me, after it's all over, you will notice
your computer is running VERY fast.  As far as partitions go, some
recommend as much as 5 for various reasons, but I only have two.  One
for everything X and another for all OS 9 stuff.
