Hey you all!
I've been a PC-guru for a loads of years now, and I'm finally going for a Mac, White Hi-end Macbook with 2gb RAM to be exact. But I have a question;
From my Windowsbased PC I'm used to having multiple partitions, like 15 gb to my XP and programs, rest of the disk to all other files. Then if i want to re-install XP, I'll just format the small disk, and install XP, all my files intact. Is it smart to do a similar thing with Max osX? Or is it just much smarter than xp, and able to just delete the old OS files, and programs.
The reason I'm asking, is that I'm certain to buy Leopard at it's release, and just want do to it as smooth as possible, without loosing any files. (Know there is a update-option, but I'm also thinking generally, like you do need a system re-install from time to time)
Thanks for every wise answer =)
