Cleaning Out Mac With Onyx

As you might know your mac will slow down over time. It does not matter what you do with your mac as long as it is on it will slow down over time. Now don't get scared because it is nothing drastic like windows when you would have to reinstall the OS and you won't have to reinstall OS X either. The thing that happens is overtime files left over from unused programs and caches that never got cleaned pile up on your hard drive. This not only takes up valuable space, but it slows down your overall productivity as well. Now, there are a host of programs to do these tasks as well as you can do it on your on manually.

Well the time has come and the newest version of OS X is here. Snow Leopard has arrived and has brought many improvements under the hood. I installed Snow Leopard last night and so far the only thing that I have had problems with is Final Cut Express. That is a BIG problem for me and I suspect it has to do with the new Quick Time X architecture, but I am not sure. Other than that though I am really impressed. There are not as many new features as people would like to see, but the OS is faster and seems to be no as clunky. I was happy to get back 7 GB of HD though.

There are a few thins that you should know before you upgrade though. iStat Menus, Cyberduck, Final Cut Express, and Quick Time X youtube uploads have not worked for me. But that is to be expected as this is the first few days of the OS and there are bound to be problems that have been unforeseen. However most of these problems are minor and don't effect most people there are currently alphas and betas of these applications that are working fine in Snow Leopard.

Don't let this stop you from upgrading though. You might want to wait a week or so for the kinks to be worked out, but there are no real problems. Overall the OS is a nicer, faster, and smoother version of Leopard. Things that people have been asking for are now here. (IE date in menu bar) And thing are just more refined and thought out. The videos below show the install and setup process of Snow Leopard and I will have a review video out next week.
