Ärende: Redo a Mac ?
====================
    Hello  Alan, nice chatting with you. !  

 AZ> As with Windows, the best clean up is to back up user-
 AZ> created documents, and clean install the OS and 
 AZ> applications from scratch.

        I am still doing missionary selling here, Alan. You have no
   idea of the brick & stone wall that I met. Son says that this is
   never required on a Mac. His has a huge HD, this small Mother Mac
   has a 40 G HD.

 AZ> Macs work well with external USB hard drives-- making it 
 AZ> reasonable straightforward to back up the Documents, Music, 
 AZ> Pictures (etc) folders... and every Mac sold comes with a 
 AZ> system restore CD (now DVD) set, assuming this can still be 
 AZ> located. Note that these sets are specific to different 
 AZ> models-- so you don't want to use one from a different 
 AZ> model Mac.

        She has hardly any pixes on it and no documents, save emails.

 AZ> If you can't locate the system restore disc set, however, if she lets
 AZ> you  near her Mac for a moment or two, click on the Apple icon 
 AZ> in the top-left corner, then select the top item: About 
 AZ> This Mac. Click on the More info... button to open the 
 AZ> System Profiler, and make note of the Model Name and 
 AZ> Processor Speed, and let me know what it says-- I may have 
 AZ> the appropriate discs.

        We are not there yet, reluctance has set in. Son has
   "misplaced" the original Restore CD. Not ever required seems to be
   the mantra here. Talk about being stubborn. I will try and get back
   to you with the proper information. Wish me luck.
     
       
...    If ever I negatively criticised the Mac,
...       I take it all back. It is the user !
