Wow! So you haven't seen any of the modern Macs. If memory serves,
that model was early 1990s. Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD Unix now,
which has changed it quite a lot. The maintenance is for system files
that can get corrupted, typically with file permissions. You owe
yourself another look
I try to keep mine saying Linux, but there was one site I was using
regularly about a year ago that required me to tell it I was using IE on
Windows. I forgot about it until this thread came up. Now I have changed
it back to the default. Yow!

I leave my Macs on for days or weeks and sleep them most of the time
that they are not being used. I just installed Anacron to stay on top of
routine maintenance. I think this site has a pretty good discussion of
Mac maintenance.

That may be incidental to being overseas. Though companies that are support
oriented tend to want to keep their support operations close to home,
If my mother-in-law is any example, that ones that try hardest
to blend into upper-middle class suburbia and decry all the foul
language on HBO are actually right of the Sopranos. ;

I've seen em plenty and used them a little, I just haven't bought one
because I can't justify the cost. I also didn't know you had to run nightly
'maintenance' to keep the thing from having corrupted files.
BTW, I don't want to start a cost debate...among other things I get at least
half my pc
Steve, To answer your other question, the so called cron jobs (old
name) need only be run
once for each Mac computer. No need to run them for each user account
if that's what
you mean.

I said it was a good discussion. I didn't say I did any of them except
Anacron, which checks way too often, but should do what I wanted.
For the uninitiated it covers a lot of ground in one place, and
information is good.
But I guess it is written by and for lawyers.
