Im using my MBP for light recording/mixing, Word stuff, and internet surfing (NO porn, though). What kind of stuff do I need to do to keep my Mac in tip-top shape? I clean Safari's cookies and reset it every now and then, run Disk Utility, and just got Onyx. Would appreciate suggestions!
Got a tip for us?

OS X automatically takes care of the hard drive and other things. You can manually invoke these maintenance tasks with Onyx, though it will be fine by itself.
Just leave a good amount of hard disk space (at least 2-3GB), and you will be all set.

Good luck with your recordings. Macs can handle porn, spyware and ms viruses without any problems whatsoever. Have fun!
You don't have to worry much about viruses when using a Mac.
They just...aren't out there. Not to say there are no viruses for Macs..but there just aren't too many. Go ahead and install a Mac ported virus scanner, but I wouldn't worry about it much. As long as you don't do really heinous stuff, like browsing pron sites, your risk of getting a virus is slim to none. imo

heinous |ˈhānəs|
adjective
(of a person or wrongful act, esp. a crime) utterly odious or wicked : a battery of heinous crimes.
I cannot believe I'm that evil. Apparently.
I think people have misused the word heinous after Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Who are we to judge, anyway?
