Reboot, Reinstall, make new again, etc. whatever it's called.
Do you sometimes just want to reinstall your OS and reinstall everything in it to get it back to that fresh new running fast computer it once was?
But you always back out of the thought of it because it would take you a weekend to get it back to where it was, everything installed, etc?
Grrrr!!!

It's just the thought of reinstalling everything...
Win2K needs a feature that cleans everything out and only keeps installed programs you select.

Yah, 2.GHZ Celeron with Win2K.
Don't need a new one, just remember what torture it is to reinstall it.

Lsst night backed up my Mac cos of one bloody corrupt file (I think?) zeroed drive and Reinstalled Tiger, bloody took ages!
Now got to put software back on, but there's loads of disk space now and it looks so new.

Remember with OSX you have 3 choices in the Installer:
1 - Refresh current System folder (Home and apps are untouched)
2 - Backup current System folder and install fresh System folder (Home and apps are untouched)
3 - Erase and Install (everything gone)Option 2 will solve most problems, rare that you need to do 3, unless you have Directory corruption or hardware faults...
