Hi
Does any of you experienced Mac users use maintenance app such as Onyx and ****tail? Or is repairing disk permission enough?
Is ****tail worth the 15 dollars? Any coupon codes?

I don't do any maintenance on my Mac...just occasionally repairing Disk Permissions and such. But then again, I reformat my MacBook every few months anyway
.
Let me be clear though, you don't have to reformat every few months like I do. I just do it to start fresh again. I'm a neat freak, and also I'm lazy (wow, that's almost contradicting...a lazy neat freak
) so instead of uninstalling all the applications that I download, use twice and forget about, I just reinstall OS X altogether.

Seriously, ‘Repair Permissions’ Is Voodoo. A good read.

Sam, I've never before heard of a Mac owner who frequently and regularly reformats his machine. I occasionally use Onyx, and MacJanitor also works pretty well. Each beats the hell out of reformatting, IMHO. Geez, that's just way too Windowsish!

Next time you get a crazy urge to reformat, remind yourself that your laptop is a Mac, not a Windows machine.

I never run any sort of maintenance apps or format. I really see no real need for them. If it makes you feel better I have heard good things about ****tail and it is only $15. However, I see no need.

In general, I agree. However, since MacJanitor and Onyx, are free, wth . . . LOL
