I don’t use Mac but seems like some good and genuine tips. I would also like to have similar tips for Windows desktop PCs or Laptops…
Great tips. It's a well-written post. All computers do need some sort of maintenance and file management. File management is easy, since external hard drives are there when we need it for storage. But for maintenance, it requires a good eye for small things. But with a little experience with computers, it should be no problem at all.
Today, i removed too many widgets on my Mac, so it will be better performance 🙂

Believe me, the most annoying thing on OS X is the Mailbox items deletion.
Apple thinks, keeping/storing them is nothing bad, but they understand the situation, when someone has got 30-50k emails in the inbox alone.
Dang! Anyways.
Apart from that, its the most smartest OS and no can ever come closer to it.
It has got everything and it keeps getting better and better.
I enjoy it and tend to give iMac to all of my employees as well 😉
