0 No thank you. I like my Apple. I like no headaches. I like no viruses. I like no trojans. I like deleting a program with one click and it's deleted in it's entirety. NO leftover files or folders. I like not having to defrag and all the other headache-y routine maintenance things that are needed with a PC.

Linux has all of that too  Stop saying with a PC when you mean with a Windows PC Except that both Linux and OSX do need defragged. They're just smart enough to do it on their own. ![[Image: tExeLhI.gif]](http://i.imgur.com/tExeLhI.gif)

0 No, Apple computers keep all files compartmentalized in their own folders. Unlike a PC and probably Linux. So when I delete a program, there is no need to go into my system to look for a file or folder containing leftover remnants of the deleted program.
There is no auto defrag because the operating system is set up to use the files and put them back where they found them eliminating the need. I have no idea what you're talking about so here's a bunny with a pancake on it's head

So when I delete a program, there is no need to go into my system to look for a file or folder containing leftover remnants of the deleted program. Incorrect, and incorrect. You just don't understand the low level system operations going on. Neither Linux nor Mac, nor any UNIX type of OS for that matter, needs to be defragmented via the user firstly because they write new files into spaces large enough to fit the entire file, and secondly because everytime you reboot a modern UNIX type of system is does some disk cleanup stuff that includes moving small files in the middle of large open space on the drive into any small holes between larger files. Unlike Winblows which starts with the first open cluster and causes lots of fragmentation after a lot of file deletes and creations. So like I said, OSX takes care of defrag on its own behind the scenes. I'm not sure about OSX, but some Linux also do the disk cleanup stuff while the system is idle too. I would guess OSX does that, but I couldn't swear to it. As for the other part, I didn't say your Mac didn't All I said was Linux is the same way
