Every once in a

Every once in a while, I’ll take a half-hour and comb my system folder for extensions and control panels that I don’t absolutely need for most of my daily Mac activities (i.e. http, smtp, a little ftp and maybe some irc. I’d like to deny the occasional MSFT, but I do dabble in Adobe) – anything that doesn’t pass the test is outta there. It’s time to rebuild. A restart, and Wow, that feels fast! Inevitably, I turn them back on, one-by-one, over the next couple weeks – but for a while, my computer no longer creeps. Things zoom again, almost like my first time on the machine. It’s a good feeling.
