I am probably being dim and have missed reading some instruction ... somewhere. I have worked through MacOS from my first LC11 and now on 10.2.8 and have discs ready for next system upgrade when some housekeeping on computer is completed. Over the years I have gradually upgraded my Norton Utilities and now on Systemworks 3.0 installed and working. Also other programmes like Photoshop Elements 3.0 as they offer upgrades to X. Do I have to remove physically or otherwise uninstall previous programmes, or do they dump unnecessary stuff in the trash when upgrading. Does an upgrade just keeping on adding to a programme, so it is better not to trash anything. Any one able to educate me please.? I had thought of using Spring Cleaning. Rosemary Rosemary_t at mac.com
