I've been asked many times what routine maintenance OS X requires, and since there didn't seem to be any good, and easily accessible, sources for this sort of information, I thought that I would create one. I've just put up a new Web site called: OS X Routine Maintenance and Generic Troubleshooting http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html I hope that folks fine it useful. Thanks! Randy B.
